Abstract
Mathematical model-building in the social sciences is concentrated so far in economics, leaving politics far behind. Based on a recent paradigm of Sociophysics, this article attempts an interdisciplinary general system model that combines all three social sectors: economics, politics, and ethnics. To do so, this preliminary study proceeds by a formalization of systems theory, along with its structures and functions. Because of its wide scope, the model is necessarily theoretical and fundamental, leaving specifics to later specialized studies. As such, this primary attempt incorporates the concepts of political power and economic wealth into the same model, thus indicating a simple way to approach a more realistic representation of society.
