Monopoly or Competition? Unraveling the Amazon Paradox
This article draws on the case of Amazon to highlight the inadequacy of theories of imperfect competition and monopoly capital to explain corporate capitalism. As it demonstrates, recent revisions to these frameworks to account for the apparently competitive behavior of Amazon and other large tech firms perpetuate a longer-term trend of compensating for theoretical shortcomings by introducing additional complexity without addressing core problems…
Programs to Address Violence for Military Families
Online Education
Social work has a proliferation of online courses. Both nursing and medicine have been using online technology for years with noted success within a variety of subjects. The current scoping review examined empirical research of online learning and satisfaction outcomes in social work, while also comparing results with nursing and medicine. Results showed that most social work studies that examined learning outcomes between online and traditional …

Families transition, too! Military families transition out of service
There is minimal research about the military-to-civilian transition (MCT) from the perspective of the family. The goal of this scoping review was to identify what is known about military families across the Five Eyes Nations (FVEY) (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States) during this phase as well as identify gaps in the evidence base. Scoping review methods were employed with a narrative review process to conce…
The New Finance Capital
We argue that a new form of finance capital has been consolidated in the United States since the 2008 crisis-defined as a fusion of financial and industrial capital. In this regime, financiers have become more entrenched in the governance of nonfinancial corporations while, reciprocally, industrial firm managers have increasingly become financiers. Indeed, this fusion has taken place on two interconnected levels: (1) within the nonfinancial corpo…

The Legacy of Leo Panitch
The shock of Leo Panitch's untimely death in December of 2020 has worn off; our sense of profound loss has not.In the days that followed his passing, emails, editorials, obituaries, and forums appeared describing his immense intellectual, political, and personal influence.These tributes have captured something of his legacy, while also articulating the sadness experienced by so many of his friends and colleagues.Articles assessing his global infl…
Effect of tardive dyskinesia on quality of life in patients with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia
The presence of TD is associated with worse HRQoL and social withdrawal. The most severe impact of TD is on physical aspects of patients' HRQoL
Conceptualizing Neoliberalism
This article argues that the common understanding of neoliberalism as a set of state policies emerges out of the problematic characterization of power within dominant mainstream and critical paradigms. Working from critical realist social theory and Marxian state theory, it presents an alternative theoretical framework to properly account for the complex unfolding of objective history. From this Institutional Marxist perspective, neoliberalism is…
The Capitalist State, Corporate Political Mobilization, and the Origins of Neoliberalism
Escaping Structuralism's Legacy
The project of renewing historical materialist theory for a new generation requires overcoming the limitations of Althusserian structuralism. Upon investigation, Althusser's theory is revealed to be idealist, inconsistent with the philosophy actually articulated by Marx, and unhelpful in understanding the dynamics of human societies. The flaws in this approach led both to E. P. Thompson's rejection of abstract theory altogether, and Michael Lebow…

Springsteen's Wrecking Ball and the Plague of the 99
On his most recent album, Wrecking Ball, Bruce Springsteen crafted a powerful statement of support for the working class, the existence of which barely penetrates contemporary art or politics. This is not an accident: the growing power of capital over public discourse has provided it a forceful means through which to shape individual consciousness, and establish an apolitical and at most technocratic understanding of power.... Even in the cultura…
The Political Economy of the Egyptian Uprising
Not long after Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman announced that Hosni Mubarak would resign his post as President, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Egypt to congratulate the Egyptian people on a job well done. The revolutionaries had accomplished their goal, she said. Everyone could go home and feel proud of their historic achievement and leave the cleaning up to the responsible adults—the United States and the closely allied Eg…
