社会系统的扩展产生了一种“垂直”排序，这种排序与更常见的按地点排序的“水平”排序相结合。但到目前为止，这一现象主要是从政治角度来分析的，还没有得到足够的规章主义处理。监管方法本质上是一种系统论，根据这种理论，积累和监管方面的创新--无论其起源如何--如果有助于扩大资本的再生产，往往会被挑选出来，编织成一个稳定的模式。这里认为，积累制度和监管模式的可行性在一定程度上取决于是否在其组成部分活动之间建立了适当的规模分工。从分析中可以看出，在此基础上，有可能对不同规模的社会一体化和分化的基本趋势，以及在每个时代出现的主导社会单位进行规章主义的描述。
The scaling of social systems gives rise to a ‘vertical’ ordering that combines with the more familiar ‘horizontal’ ordering by place. But so far this phenomenon has been examined mainly from a political standpoint, and has not as yet received an adequate regulationist treatment. The regulation approach is at heart a systems theory, whereby innovations in accumulation and regulation—whatever their origins—will tend to be selected and woven into a stable pattern if they contribute to the expanded reproduction of capital. It is argued here that the viability of regimes of accumulation, and of modes of regulation, depends in part upon whether an appropriate scale division of labour is established between their component activities. It is suggested from the analysis that it is possible on this basis to develop a regulationist account of the fundamental tendency towards the integration and division of societies at different scales, and the emergence of dominant societal units in each epoch.
