ABSTRACT

Support-bargaining and money-bargaining are concerned instead with the great range of transactions through which individuals relate to each other and through which societies are governed. The sweeping role of an information interface can be recognised only in the context of a support-bargaining and money-bargaining system. Intellectual support-bargaining is strongly influenced by the requirements of money-bargaining. The conflict between individual and group interest gives support-bargaining systems their basic feature of 'right-wing' groups concerned with individual interests and 'left-wing' groups concerned with the group interest. The contributions of theory-makers to the information interface have the effect of assembling support for or against right or left, and for or against the many other interests that are present in human societies. It is easily seen that 'social construction' is a process of support-bargaining. Collective intentionality is seen by John Searle as the basis of the construction of social reality. The information interface covers both 'social reality' and 'material reality' without any queries or contrivance.
