Overview

Radical institutionalism—a processual paradigm focused on changing the direction of cultural evolution and the function of social provisioning in order to promote the full participation of all—defines inequality as evolving from class exploitation, gender domination, race discrimination, and national predation. Radical institutionalism states that inequality is not determined by genetic differences between groups, innate differences between sexes, or class differences. It is believed that mainstream thinking in economics and related studies is not broad enough to capture the complexity of this social pathology.

Radical institutionalism<-->a blend of institutionalism, Marxism, and feminism<-->defines inequality as a social pathology, not an inevitable cost of economic progress. Inequality is a product of social processes, and is not determined by alleged genetic differences between races and ethnic groups or differences between sexes or by cultural differences between classes. The 16 articles in this anthology are arranged into four parts: basic ways of understanding inequality; the welfare state crisis; inequality in international contexts; and case studies.
