In Economics
In economics, meta-systems are like what Bataille calls general economies as opposed to the restricted economies of systems.
A book about the difference between general and restricted economies is Complementarity by Arshad Naim. In this case "meta" is defined as what is beyond: the meta-system is what lies beyond the system.

Famous quotes containing the word economics:
“Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.”
