the mutual relations between the different productive sectors

differences. For the purposes of my analysis of social
relations of productions and their conditions of reproduction
in the north Jordan Valley I will attempt to re-interpret
some of the basic concepts of this debate within the
framework of methodological realism. The key concepts in this
