Inequality and Democratic Egalitarianism - Journeying through Marxism
Inequality and Democratic Egalitarianism, 2018Co-Authors: Mark HarveyAbstract:This chapter gives an account of how the perspectives of a political philosopher and an Economic Sociologist are brought to bear on how the contemporary extremes of inequality are generated in society. It explains why Marx remains a major focus of interest. It then sets the book within the contemporary debates and approaches to inequality, both national and global. It argues that in important ways the latter are a regression from Marx, whereas this book represents an attempt to go beyond Marx, by exploring deeper and broader analysis of the processes generating inequalities to both market and public goods.

Inequality and Democratic Egalitarianism
2018Co-Authors: Mark Harvey, Norman GerasAbstract:This book arose out of a friendship between a political philosopher and an Economic Sociologist, and their recognition of an urgent political need to address the extreme inequalities of wealth and power in contemporary societies. The book provides a new analysis of what generates inequalities in rights to income, property and public goods in contemporary societies. It claims to move beyond Marx, both in its analysis of inequality and exploitation, and in its concept of just distribution. In order to do so, it critiques Marx’s foundational Labour Theory of Value and its closed-circuit conception of the economy. It points to the major historical transformations that create educational and knowledge inequalities, inequalities in rights to public goods that combine with those to private wealth. In two historical chapters, it argues that industrial capitalism introduced new forms of coerced labour in the metropolis alongside a huge expansion of slavery and indentured labour in the New World, with forms of bonded labour lasting well into the twentieth century. Only political struggles, rather than any Economic logic of capitalism, achieved less punitive forms of employment. It is argued that these were only steps along a long road to challenge asymmetries of Economic power and to realise just distribution of the wealth created in society.

Digital Labor and the Sharing Economy: An Interview with Ivana Pais (interviewed by Ivan Pavlyutkin )
Journal of Economic Sociology, 2016Co-Authors: Ivana PaisAbstract:Prof. Ivana Pais was interviewed by Ivan Pavlyutkin, associate professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The conversation occurred at the Department of Sociology of Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan. Pais introduces us to her career path as an Economic Sociologist, and explains challenges that Economic Sociologists encounter while teaching Economics students and why it is more insightful than teaching sociology students. She also talks about directions and peculiarities of Economic sociological thought in Italy. There is a strong tradition in Italy to study industrial districts with their network of small firms and labor markets. In the interview, Pais shares her previous and current research projects. She points out the significance of the digital economy for a better understanding of some market processes happening within the local community and describes her current research concerning the sharing economy. Applying Karl Polany’s theoretical perspective, she argues that the Italian sharing economy is embedded in nonEconomic institutions. A pure digital sharing economy model that lacks social interactions (the Silicon Valley type) does not work in Italy. Finally, Pais provides information about her participation in the conference arranged by the European commission and the organization of future mini-conference in Berkley.
