The Social Equality of Religion or Belief
Some countries, like the UK, give special recognition by the state to one or a few religions; other countries, like France and the US, give recognition to none. This book is about a new approach that
Ethnic, Racial and Religious Inequalities
This book challenges some of the most basic assumptions underpinning the growing interest in religion, including: that religion is increasing and secularisation is decreasing and that religion is the
The Curious Case of the Mis-claimed Myth Claims
The claims made by a number of authors about the mythical status of ethnic residential segregation in the Bradford District are shown to be untenable. There is clear evidence of segregation, self-segregation and increasing levels of segregation in the Bradford context. These social patterns give rise to concerns about the possibility of cultural and political polarisation, and accompanying social conflict, between population groups with differing…

Globalization and Identity
Globalization is often perceived in rather simplistic terms: as a single universal process leading ultimately to global equality and global democracy. The contributors to "Globalisation and Identity" take a different view. Drawing on their expertise across a variety of disciplines they argue that globalisation is far more complex, a fact reflected in a range of key problems - centred on issues of equality and identity - now facing peoples and gov…
Karl Marx's Theory of History and the Recovery of the Marxian Tradition
The Marxist tradition consists of a distinctive combination of social and historical theory, socialist values and political practice, with secular materialist underpinnings. The theory of history inspired by G. A. Cohen's work retains its vitality as a research program, and the socialist value base is also in reasonable shape. Any recovery of the tradition needs however to confront the negative legacy of Marxism's historical past. The theory of h…

The Darwinian Weberian
Alan Carling The Darwinian Weberian: W.G. Runciman and the Microfoundations of Historical Materialism Introduction W.G. Runciman’s Treatise on Social Theory is one of the finest works in its field published over the last fifty years. It is a rich, capacious, magisterial work in three volumes and 1,200 pages. My purpose in this paper is not to assess the work overall, nor to offer an account of its author, who is a fascinating figure in his own ri…

Marxism Today
A question of attitude
Analytical and Essential Marxism
Analytical Marxism involves the attempt to reconstruct Marxist theory and to refocus Marxist politics in the light of contemporary intellectual developments-especially in analytical philosophy and economic theory – and historical events-above all, the failures of Communist regimes. In order to assess this reconstruction it is necessary to bear in mind a conception of the overall Marxist project. By this standard of comparison it remains to be see…
Analytical Marxism (Contemporary Social Theory, Vol. 1)
Rational Choice Marxism
In 1977 and 1978, Paul Hirst and Barry Hindess published with their collaborators the two volumes of Marx's 'Capital' and Capitalism Today. In the latter year Gerald Cohen published Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence. In retrospect, it is possible to see in these events a turning-point for Anglophone Marxist theory, and the latest evidence of the remarkable capacity of Western Marxism to renew itself, despite everything. Hirst and Hindess, …

On Social Class Confusion
Different schools of sociological thought have characteristic confusions about the concept of social class: whether it refers to individuals or households; whether it is about social inequality, social change, or social mobility; and whether the relevant inequalities arise from differences in being (identity), having (resources), or doing (activity, especially working activity). The idea is defended that inequality of welfare is the touchstone of…

Social Division
Analytical Marxism and Historical Materialism
Darwinian evolutionary theory marries a genetic account of the origin of species to a selectionist account of their subsequent fate. The Marxian theory of history is analogous: class struggle provides an account of the origins of new regimes of production and selection pressures explain their subsequent history. The theory is technologically determinist, but there are three distinct doctrines ascribing primacy in different ways to the technologic…

In Defence of Rational Choice
Ellen Meiksins Wood has delivered a sweeping broadside against the idea that Rational Choice Marxism (rcm) might hoist a standard around which the intellectual forces of the left could rally. Many of her arguments regarding the limitations of rcm I accept (indeed, some of them I

It is widely believed that at some time over the last fifteen years the political values of the left were hijacked and the social theories of the left discredited; and that this intellectual reverse bears some relation to the ascendancy of Thatcherism. Whatever the merits of this case

Exploitation, Extortion and Oppression
Exploitation, extortion and oppression describe unjust social arrangements that ought to be changed. The concept of exploitation is particularly associated with Marx's critique of capitalism, and the term ‘extortion’ sometimes designates the injustice of feudalism. The distinctions between these concepts can be clarified using the framework of rational-choice theory. Oppression is a situation of unfair exclusion (from resources, or utilities more…
