Debating Capital and Ideology: An introduction to the special issue
In 2014 the publication of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century sent shock waves through social science. His work proved inspirational not only because of his specific research findings regarding inequality, but because he offered a new vision of how social science can renew itself in the 21st century. His bold interdisciplinary platform, his use of new and rigorous methods, and his concerns to re-ignite the political relevance of social …
"Revisiting the "Great Levelling: The limits of Piketty'sCapital and Ideologyfor understanding the rise of late 20th century inequality
In Capital and Ideology, Thomas Piketty returns to questions of historical inequality, not merely to fill in the gaps in the earlier, widely circulated and impactful Capital in the 21st Century, but to undertake a far more ambitious and nuanced project. Critics (Bhambra & Holmwood, 2018; Moeller, 2016) pointed out that in the previous book, Piketty's consideration of the role of high concentrations wealth on inequality focused largely on a handfu…
Introduction: Measuring Matters
In September 2011, protesters occupied a park in New York’s financial district. The Occupy Wall Street movement, spreading over many cities and several countries over that winter, made inequality its banner and did much to bring the issue to the foreground of public debate. Through a sophisticated combination of age-old protest tactics and social media use, Occupy denounced the injustice of the accumulation of riches and power by a small and unac…
Testing Measures: Decolonization and Economic Power in 1960s India
In October of 1960, shortly after the conclusion of India's Second Five- Year Plan, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru convened a high-level expert panel to investigate whether the fruits of recent economic growth had been equitably distributed across the country, or whether benefits had accrued primarily to the nation's elite. Triggered by sharp public and parliamentary criticisms of Nehru's ambitious, top-down economic planning regime, the committ…
Tortoises all the way down: Geertz, cybernetics and 'culture' at the end of the Cold War
In his essay 'The Impact of the Concept of Culture on the Concept of Man', Clifford Geertz asserts that contemporary social science must 'look for systematic relationships among diverse phenomena'. Geertz credits his approach to developments in the field of cybernetics, which pioneered the study of modern information systems to understand everything from computer systems and biological networks to human organisation. Geertz's early formulation of…
Reconstructing Corrosion: A Conversation with Pallavi Govindnathan
Poornima Paidipaty interviews the artist Pallavi Govindnathan on two recent series, Acerbic Drips and Reconstruction, which chronicle the social, psychic, and physical effects of acid attacks on young women in Bangladesh. This conversation explores questions of masculinity in visual art, the politics of documenting and representing violence, and the corrosive effects of gender violence on social mobility and bonds of intimacy
