Violence is chronic disease of society.
"People can be killed or incapacitated with ulcers, and they can be injured by psychological violence just as effectively as they can be with a gun."

Interdisciplinary Economics: Kenneth E. Boulding’s Engagement in the Sciences
Wilfred Dolfsma, Stefan Kesting
Routledge, 18-Jul-2013 - Business & Economics - 606 pages
Kenneth Boulding was a prolific writer across so many different fields that not only is he often much referred to and cited, he is considered a core member of many of these fields. Boulding is the quintessential interdisciplinary scholar. He died in 1993, but he has left a legacy in economics, conflict studies, systems theory, ecology, biology, communication studies, and ethics. As an economist proper he has tested and expanded the boundaries of that field without unduly "invading" and undermining the expertise and established knowledge of the other social sciences. This volume will allow scholars who have worked or are starting to work in areas that Boulding has initiated, established and made a continued contribution to, to understand the links between these fields and other related ones. The volume will establish a source of inspiration for some time to come.
Social disorganisation is an indication of the existence of the diseased or disruptive elements in society. These symptoms are important because they give knowledge of existing diseases so that it can consequently be arranged to fulfil the deficiency which the disease originates, before this disease can devour the entire social body.
