Biography
Dr. Busch is as an associate professor of sociology and has investigated general systems theory and sociocybernetics as a philosophical basis for sociological theory. Upon that systems framework he is engaged in developing theoretical approaches to the understanding of social systems in general. This has necessitated investigations into the social construction of reality, political economy, inequality, and the reciprocal influences of self and society. In particular these have led to the investigation of authoritarian disposition, cults and the dynamics of religiosity, racial and gender inequality, formal organizations, information societies and globalization, and the overall dynamics of inequality in the U.S. as an outlier among all post-industrial nations.
