Hi Monica,

Yes, polity is a real word, and here are a few definitions, using Google's 'define' feature:

Definitions of polity on the Web:
List of 9 items
. civil order: the form of government of a social organization
. a politically organized unit
. shrewd or crafty management of public affairs; "we was innocent of stratagems and polity"

. Polity is a general term that refers to political organization of a group. It is often used to describe a loosely organized society such as a tribe or
community, but can mean any political group including a government or empire. It is also used to describe religious political organizations, particularly
Christian. Subtypes of polities include hierarchical, presbyterial, and congregational.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polity

. a politically independent or autonomous social unit, whether simple or complex, which may in the case of a complex society (such as a state) comprise
many lesser dependent components.

LOL! Cindy, there is a word in that book I'm still trying to understand. It's a good thing I don't have to be a genius to validate. Post Capitalist Society has some great points. I have to admit that some of it went over my head though. It kept talking about polity. Is that even a real word? Microsoft Word thinks it is and didn't flag it as being mispelled. Peter Drucker was in his 80s when he wrote that book. I sure hope I'm that mentally agile when I'm that age. :)
