The final chapter of this book discusses an "abnormal form" of the title concept in which poor regulation prompts a decrease in "functional activity." Its seventh chapter largely refutes Spencer's theory of contracts, stating that positive control is on the rise due to the fundamentally restitutive nature of modern laws. This work contrasts such restitutive systems with the typically repressive systems of primitive peoples, where common experiences prompt a mechanical solidarity that is fundamentally different from the organic solidarity of modern society. Organic solidarity is then said to derive from the title concept, which increases productivity yet leads to the alienation of the individual as well as anomie. For 10 points, name this 1893 magnum opus of French sociologist Émile Durkheim.
