What Is the Wrong of Capitalism?

Chiara Cordelli

American Political Science Review·2025

The troubled state of economic life today has prompted a revival of normative critiques of capitalism. According to a prominent critique, radical republicanism, capitalism is defined by its mode of production and the distinctive wrong of capitalism amounts to a structural form of domination. By arguing that radical republicanism fails to provide a satisfactory account of capitalism’s distinctiveness—and of its core wrong—I propose an alternative account focused on the mode of investment. Capitalism’s mode of investment, I assert, entails a loss of collective control over, and involvement in, the valuation and creation of the future. The wrong inhering in this loss is best understood in terms of alienation—an alienated relation between citizens and their sociopolitical order—rather than domination. In turn, socialism should be understood as a project of reconciliation, the point of which is to overcome this form of alienation through the socialization and democratic planning of investment.

Disability Justice: The Challenges of Inclusion in Everyday Life

Julie-Mary Carmel, Sian Chapman, Peter Wright

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education·2025·4 citations

This paper presents the challenges faced by Taylor (pseudonym), a young child, with a disability navigating everyday life. These challenges reflect issues that many people with disabilities face where Diversity, Inclusion and Equity are key to disability justice. Highlighting places and spaces of inclusion and exclusion in both formal and non-formal settings, we describe sites where Taylor is both constrained and enabled and consider what that might mean. Informed by the first author’s carer position, eight vignettes provide both context and consideration, making these challenges visible and hence provocations for change. These accounts are considered in relation to key concepts of the social model of disability within a critical disability framework. This exploration highlights how society’s perceptions are largely bound by a bio-medical view of disability that promotes deficit views. By way of contrast, and beyond an impoverished framing, a social model of disability sees Taylor as a vibrant, intelligent young person seeking to live a life rich with meaning and value. What the research reveals is that learning and change are possible in both formal and non-formal settings where an enhanced understanding of places and spaces for engagement and participation means that society becomes more equitable and just.

Mixed Methods and Their Pragmatic Approach: Is There a Risk of Being Entangled in a Positivist Epistemology and Methodology? Limits, Pitfalls and Consequences of a Bricolage Methodology

Giampietro Gobo, Università degli Studi di Milano

Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research·2023

https://doi.org/10.17169/fqs-24.1.4005 Since the early 2000s, the pragmatic approach has been proposed as a philosophical program for social research, regardless of whether qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods are used. In addition, current mixed methods have been presented as a third way between positivism and constructivism. However, can mixed methods be fully considered a third way? For instance, in their inquiries, will scholars oriented to pragmatism actually employ the traditional and standardized questionnaire, with forced choices and closed questions, which strongly limits any interpretative and interactional perspective? Hence, several theoretical and methodological difficulties of the pragmatist proposal emerge precisely (and paradoxically) at the level of research practice. The pragmatic approach is presented by its proponents as a model designed to dissolve differences and neutralize epistemological barriers; however, without problematizing and removing the positivist features of their methods, researchers oriented to pragmatism actually risk ending up reproducing positivism in disguise. Hence, despite their claims to innovation, proponents of pragmatism are often overly traditionalist in their use of methods.

Joint Displays of Integrated Data Collection in Mixed Methods Research

Michael D. Fetters, Chihiro Tajima

International Journal of Qualitative Methods·2022·66 citations

Mixed methods researchers need tools for planning and demonstrating integration. Mixed methods joint displays have a growing presence in the literature for representing mixed methods findings, and for use as an analytic tool as in the case of joint display analysis. However, the joint display of integrated data collection represents a lesser-known application for use by mixed methods researchers. A joint display for integrated data collection links the qualitative and the quantitative data collection questions, scales, and/or items. Here we demonstrate how joint displays of integrated data collection can be used as a planning, implementation, and presentation tool to illustrate integration of the data collection process. We examine variations in joint displays of integrated data collection based on three core mixed methods designs, a convergent design, and two sequential mixed methods designs, and provide examples of each from the literature. We recommend the joint display of integrated mixed data collection as a highly effective tool for mixed methods researchers to use for planning, implementing, and representing integrated data collection in their mixed methods projects.

Being good in Ramadan: ambivalence, fragmentation, and the moral self in the lives of young Egyptians

Samuli Schielke

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute·2009·209 citations

So much has been written in recent years on Muslims who consciously and consistently aim to be pious, moral, and disciplined that the vast majority of Muslims who – like most of humankind – are sometimes but not always pious, at times immoral, and often undisciplined have remained in the shadow of an image of Islam as a perfectionist project of self‐discipline. Taking the month of Ramadan, as a time of exceptional piety, as a starting‐point, this paper tries to account for the different views and experiences that young people of Muslim faith in a northern Egyptian village articulate, the models of action and subjectivity they have access to, and the contradictory outcomes that the Islamic revivalist ideal of perfection has for some of them. Résumé Il a tellement été question, ces dernières années, de musulmans consciemment et constamment soucieux d’être pieux, moraux et disciplinés que la grande majorité des musulmans, qui sont parfois pieux mais pas toujours, parfois immoraux et souvent indisciplinés, comme le reste de l’humanité, est restée dans l’ombre de cette image de l’islam comme projet d’autodiscipline perfectionniste. En prenant pour point de départ le Ramadan, période de piété particulière, l’auteur tente de rendre compte de différents points de vue exprimés par les jeunes musulmans d’un village du Nord de l’Égypte, des modèle d’action et de subjectivité qui leur sont ouverts et des résultats contradictoires que donne pour certains d’entre eux l’idéal de perfection portée par l’idée d’un renouveau islamique.
