<p>In his most recent books, Piketty offers a global history of inequality in its economic, social, political, and intellectual dimensions, arguing that history is moved by the struggle of ideologies. To take part in this battle of ideas, he conceives a new ideal model of society, ‘participative socialism’, as an egalitarian alternative to the dominant neoproprietarian ideology and to the dangerous resurgence of nationalism and populism. This paper provides a new interpretation of Piketty’s view of history and of his participatory socialism in light of Paul Ricoeur’s study of the dialectics of ideology and utopia. First, I present Ricoeur’s singular analysis of ideology and utopia, which he sees as two inseparable facets of social imagination. Then I show how Ricoeur’s concepts can be fruitfully applied to Piketty’s conception of history and to his conception of a new form of socialism for the 21<sup>st</sup> century, drawing lessons from history and forming a ‘good’ or ‘realist’ utopia. Finally, I demonstrate that this interpretation of Piketty’s socialism can help to better understand some of the criticisms he has received.</p>Benoît Walraevens

https://www.ejpe.org/journal/article/view/762
<p>As part of a book symposium on Nicholas Vrousalis' <em>Exploitation as Domination: What Makes Capitalism Unjust</em> (2023), S.M. Love argues that only the Kantian view can justify Vrousalis’ argument for the injustice of exploitation, and gives a more detailed account of the injustice of domination within the Kantian framework.</p>S.M.

<p>As part of a book symposium on Nicholas Vrousalis' <em>Exploitation as Domination: What Makes Capitalism Unjust</em> (2023), Lucas Stanczyk argues that his reciprocity account of the central wrong-making feature of domination is superior to Vrousalis' domination account. </p>Lucas Stanczyk

https://www.ejpe.org/journal/article/view/757
<p>As part of a book symposium on Nicholas Vrousalis' <em>Exploitation as Domination: What Makes Capitalism Unjust</em> (2023), Gulzaar Barn suggests that while Vrousalis' account provides a compelling story of why capitalist labour relations are unjustly exploitative, difficulties arise in its application to other cases such as surrogacy.</p>Gulzaar Barn
