Notes on systems-theory

[good intro to Luhmann’s system-theory by Bob Jessop. Operational autonomy of every functional system, which is nonetheless interdependent on other functional systems “insofar as they constitute mutually relevant environments” and influence each other’s evolution. So every ‘other’ system is constitutes the environment of a given system]

Bobby J: “in regard to the economic and political, Luhmann initially treats them as distinct autopoietic systems but later provides a whole series of concepts to explore their structural coupling, interpenetration, blind co-evolution, and even the ecological dominance of the logic of capital accumulation”. Is there however not a problem with starting from autonomy in the first place?
