How big is your society?

摘要

Presumably nobody will ever know for sure what Margaret Thatcher meant when she said there was no such thing as society, and I can't see anyone reaching agreement on what David Cameron means now when he says that society does exist after all, and that it should be ‘big’. Or, presumably, bigger. Than what? Bigger than ‘no such thing’ is easy. And how do you measure society anyway? It bends the mind, this sort of stuff.
