The author structures this using the theory of cybernetics, approximately that there are a series of systems that regulate each other at higher and higher levels, using feedback that reduces complex information into simpler signals.

Capitalism and markets are effective simplifiers in that everything has a price, a fungible easily compared signal. This has many downsides
