Disordered whiteness
This paper is a multifaceted exploration of white subjectivity and the social phenomena of whiteness, about which there is a considerable body of psychoanalytic literature spanning decades. Hazel White's “unwound sonnet late on the tide” explores themes of traumatic legacies, family, shame, and mourning. Critical poetic inquiry is used to consider these themes and make links between the poetics of psychoanalytic processes and the psychoanalysis o…

Social Justice Activism as Interpretation in a Loewaldian World
At a time when many questions are arising about the nexus between psychoanalysis and social justice, the writings of Hans Loewald open an avenue for broadened conceptualizations of psychoanalytic activity and the role of interpretation within it. The pursuit of social justice, it is argued, is integral to psychoanalytic ethics, and the relation between activists and society can be formulated in Loewaldian terms. Using Loewald, and considering cas…
The insistence on exclusion
This paper explores resistance to equality‐promoting measures as the external manifestation of thwarted mourning of losses incurred in social trauma. This resistance, which is evidenced in backlashes against social justice, is termed the anti‐integrative impulse. Outlining the unconscious mechanisms that undergird both the desires for equality and desires to maintain inequality, the central importance of mourning in social equality movements will…
The lasting impact of colonial trauma in India
Hindu supremacist ideology and Hindu nationalism are recently resurgent in India's far‐right government. This ideology has manifested itself in increased religious intolerance and human rights violations, including escalating oppression of religious and other minorities, journalists, civil rights advocates, and others. Using psychoanalytic theories of social trauma, groups, and prejudice, I link present‐day disturbances to the profound social tra…
Observations on Use of the N-Word in Psychoanalytic Conferences
After a discussion of the literature relevant to the use of slurs in psychoanalytic professional settings, Freud’s concept of Nachträglichkeit, or deferred action, is used to identify and explore these events as a series of discriminatory gestures that evoke racial trauma. The defensive responses that emerge to protect the use of these gestures indicate ties to the traumatic legacy of slavery and to white supremacy as it appears in contemporary p…

Unfree Labour under Capitalism
Is free labour under capitalism a contradiction in terms? Two aspects of this long-debated question are considered. One is the divide between the libertarian insistence on individual freedom and the socialist contention of proletarian class unfreedom. Is there a viewpoint free of judgments or valuations as to what is or is not interesting or valuable about any given view of freedom? We argue that the Rawlsian original position defines a value-fre…
Challenges Facing World Agriculture
The Forms of Monopoly Land Rent and Agrarian Organization
The incidence of diverse forms of surplus – fixed rents, share rents, profits from direct cultivation and labour rents – remains a conundrum in the study of agrarian organization. The article presents a theoretical account of the form of rent when a dominant landowner faces landowning peasants. From a purely economic standpoint, the surplus-maximizing choice among forms is shown to be contingent not only on their incentive and labour-process char…

Group Behaviour and Development
Most economic decisions are taken by people acting within, and very often on behalf of, groups. As consumers, individuals are members of families; as producers, they operate within firms. Moreover, there are a variety of less formal groups, such as neighbourhood or community associations and networks of producers, which play an important role in influencing behaviour and outcomes. Yet much of economics puts individuals at the centre of analysis. …
Fiscal Faux Pas
Freedom, equality, property and Bentham
Definitional disputes may be disregarded as inconsequential aside from getting in the way of communicating substantive positions. In the present instance, such an attitude seems untenable if only because Free Labour and Capitalism are big words in wide currency. And debates involving these terms reflect deeper differences in theoretical and historical interpretation. Though, or perhaps because, a considerable part of the volume in review is energ…

Growth, distribution, and the environment
This paper considers prospects for improving growth and income distribution in India that are broadly sustainable in terms of macroeconomic and environmental constraints. It first describes recent economic trends and the reform process, using a simple framework which can incorporate political economy issues. It then takes up environmental questions and the interaction of the environment and the macroeconomy. Based on this analysis, the economy's …

Fragmented rural labour markets
Rural labour markets in India and elsewhere are fragmented by villages. This article analyses inter-village mobility barriers, insider-outsider differentiation and the nature of the intra-village labour exchange. Unemployment reduces the opportunity cost of labour to peasants below an institutionally-determined wage while lack of 'familiarity' raises the cost of recruiting and employing non-village labourers to village employers above that wage. …
