Our Assets, Our Control
Criticize and Construct! A Case for Emancipatory Social Theory
Portfolio democracy
In this essay, I argue that Christophers' description of asset-manager society is best characterized by a logic of 'acquire and extract'. I build on his insights to delve into the less-explored world of emancipatory alternatives. I argue for radical transformations - what I term 'democratic ruptures' - that shift the investment logic of asset managers toward one of 'build and nourish'. With insights from the failure to establish economic democrac…
Critical Sociology at 50
OriginsIn 1968, with the Vietnam War raging, a range of social movements arrayed in opposition to colonialism, poverty, and racism mobilized during the Democratic Convention in Chicago to protest.At the same time in Boston, a radical group of young faculty and graduate students called the Radical Caucus of Sociology gathered for the American Sociological Association (ASA) meeting, looking to alter the course of the discipline.The social unrest of…
Theology and Technology Volume I
Classes Without Labor
This article offers three interrelated critiques of Bourdieusian class analysis. First, Bourdieu replaces classes on paper with capitals on paper. He offers a false break from Marx in an effort to make capital more 'relational' via a theory of social space, but in doing so he neglects capital's fundamental relation to labor. Second, Bourdieu offers a theory of domination without exploitation. Bourdieu's classes live against one another, but it re…
The Problem of Class Abstractionism
With renewed interest in Marxism, class is back on the intellectual agenda. But so too is the familiar charge of 'class reductionism.' This charge conflates two distinct claims regarding what we term the structural and political primacy of class. Structural primacy refers to the determinant role of class in social explanation, whereas political primacy refers to its centrality in radical politics. Crossing these distinct claims, we identify four …

Twenty-First Century Inequality and Capitalism
The Politics of Democratizing Finance
How can finance be durably democratized? In the centers of financial power in both the United States and the United Kingdom, proposals now circulate to give workers and the public more say over how flows of credit are allocated. This article examines five democratization proposals: credit union franchises, public investment banks, sovereign wealth funds, inclusive ownership funds, and bank nationalization. It considers how these plans might activ…

Alternatives
This essay argues that the reproduction of racial categories and racial inequalities are both, in part, driven by processes fundamental to capitalist markets. Drawing from the work of Howard Botwinick and Barbara J. Fields, it suggests that racial problems are not solely the product of racial prejudice or racist institutional practices. Instead, it argues that seemingly race-neutral processes in capitalist markets are deeply racial in their impli…
Investment preferences and patient capital
In comparative political economy, the patience of capital investment has often been explained with the political activity of stakeholders. Such scholarship attributes investment preferences to either set assumptions about what various actors are likely to want from their pension systems or to macro-level institutional factors. Comparing the preferences of business and labor actors in the occupational pension systems in Finland, the Netherlands, a…
Political Mediation and American Old-Age Security Exceptionalism
Debates over America's heavy reliance on employer-provided private pensions have understated the profound role organized labor played after World War II. Archival evidence from prominent unions and business associations suggests that the shift in organized labor's strategy after the New Deal toward electoral activity helps explain critical interventions by Northern Democrats into the system of private pensioning in the postwar period that laid th…
Turning Labor into Capital
This article explores union attempts to control pension fund investment for the debate on financial restructuring in the United States. It puts popular control of finance into comparative and historical perspective and argues that laws and politics help explain why the flow of finance is corporate controlled. First, changes in the legal regime-the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974-put constra…
Explaining Political Violence Against Civilians in Northern Ireland
In contrast to prevalent theories of terrorism, this study develops a contention-oriented approach where levels and forms of political violence against civilians depend upon: (1) the strategies of combatants; (2) the means of contention; (3) the locations of allies and opponents; (4) the collective identities of combatants; and (5) the dynamics of contention, including whether or not representatives of paramilitary organizations are included in f…

The Neo-Marxist Legacy in American Sociology
A significant group of sociologists entering graduate school in the late 1960s and 1970s embraced Marxism as the foundation for a critical challenge to reigning orthodoxies in the discipline. In this review, we ask what impact this cohort of scholars and their students had on the mainstream of American sociology. More generally, how and in what ways did the resurgence of neo-Marxist thought within the discipline lead to new theoretical and empiri…
Australia's Greatest Maritime Mystery Solved
Why Should the Business Agents Be Bigger Than the Organization?”
Union democracy has tended to result in prolabor contracts in the American labor movement. However, many rank-and-file movements attempting to transform staff-led unions into democratic ones have experienced failure. The author examines some of the reasons why insurgent democracy movements are often unable to institute lasting democratic structures and militant reforms in the building trades, through an in-depth analysis of a failed rebellion in …

Wildlife Tunnel Enhances Population Viability
Roads and traffic are pervasive components of landscapes throughout the world: they cause wildlife mortality, disrupt animal movements, and increase the risk of extinction. Expensive engineering solutions, such as overpasses and tunnels, are increasingly being adopted to mitigate these effects. Although some species readily use such structures, their success in preventing population extinction remains unknown. Here, we use population viability mo…

Echoes of the present
Child poverty has been an emotive and political issue for many years. This article sets out to look at the concepts of poverty—both absolute and relative. It then analyses government and political party attitudes to poverty from 1945–70, concluding that little has been achieved, particularly for the poorer and larger. families. In drawing out lessons for the present day, the paper argues that assumptions about the causes of poverty and ways of ta…
