Significant to social relations is man living in several communities and associations at the same time. An individual may, simultaneously, be a citizen of a country, state, and town, a resident of a given neigh? borhood, a member of associations, a church, a family, etc. The domi? nant force which integrates each of these various associations may be different: a religious faith, cultural ties, etc. People develop a sense of community by sharing a network of common values, interlocking interests, and common experiences which yield a mutual understand? ing. These communities and associations exist alongside the market? place and fulfill many public and individual needs [Hunt, pp. 285 309], and an individual's well being may be closely tied to the well being of his group, or groups. Organizations, in all of their various forms must, therefore, be of importance to social economists. Addition? ally, however, social economists must be concerned with the integration of the heterogeneous groups into a unified and coherent social whole. While the market place does offer a mechanism to link individuals in some mutual economic interests, the market is insufficient to pro? vide people with a sense of community. [Nisbet, Polanyi] Additional? ly, the marketplace does not provide a means for individuals to express their feelings and obligations towards fellow members of the com? munity, nor does the market provide a means of integrating the non market activities of groups into a unified social whole. The neo? classical tradition argues that the invisible hand assures the viability of the market and the integration of economic activity, but the mar? ket does not create social cohesiveness. The market is unable to inte? grate noneconomic activities, and it is unable to resolve inter-personal or inter-group value differences. Therefore, economic theory is de? ficient, and, in turn, socially oriented economists should be concerned with the broad questions of integrating groups in a unified society and with the procedures and goals of the social order. Because an individual's well-being is partially dependent upon an identification with viable groups and organizations [Hill, pp. 311
