In [[sociology]] and [[economics]], '''Social dualism''' is a theory developed by economist J.H. Boeke which characterizes a society in the economic sense by the social spirit, the organisational forms and the technique dominating it.<ref name=dual-economy>{{cite web|url=http://www.economyprofessor.com/economictheories/dual-economy-theory.php|publisher=EconomyProfessor.com|title="Dual economy theory"}}</ref> According to Boeke, "These three aspects are interdependent and in this connection typify a society, in this way that a prevailing social spirit and the prevailing forms of organisation and of technique give the society its style, its appearance, so that in their interrelation they may be called the social system, the social style or the social atmosphere of that society<ref name="Mishra Puri">{{cite book|title=Economics of Development and Planning|year=2010|publisher=Himalaya Publishing House|location=Mumbai|isbn=978-81-8488-829-4|pages=253}}</ref> ".

==The Dual Society==

According to Boeke, it is not necessary that a society be dominated exclusively by one social system. If one social system does prevail, the society in question is a homogeneous society. When, on the contrary two (or more) social systems appear simultaneously, we have a dual society.
Boeke qualifies the term dual society by using it only for societies "showing a distinct cleavage of two synchronic and full grown social styles which in the normal, historical evolution of homogeneous societies are separated from each other by transitional forms, as for instance, pre-capitalism and high capitalism by early capitalism."<ref name="Mishra Puri">{{cite book|title=Economics of Development and Planning|year=2010|publisher=Himalaya Publishing House|location=Mumbai|isbn=978-81-8488-829-4|pages=253}}</ref><ref name=dual-economy>{{cite web|url=http://www.economyprofessor.com/economictheories/dual-economy-theory.php|publisher=EconomyProfessor.com|title="Dual economy theory"}}</refdual-economy"/><ref name="Mishra Puri"/>

This qualification is necessary because every society going through the process of evolution or endogenic social progression shows besides the prevailing social systems, the remains of the preceding and the beginnings of its future social style. If, on the other hand, one social system is imported from abroad and this system fails to oust or assimilate the prevailing social system, a dual society obviously exists.

For it is not the use of these objects to the subject himself that gives them their worth in his eyes; it is what the community thinks of them that sets the standard.
