Check out my new paper in @CivicSociology! I use egalitarian political philosophy to evaluate the concept of economic rent. Broader argument is that sociologists should incorporate normative criteria in assessing sociological concepts and theory. OA here: https://t.co/tAJ3z1O3Ir

In my new paper, I introduce a new economics of the common good, one where ‘how’ we achieve collective goals matters as much as the destination itself.

New paper!📊
You’ve heard of the (debated) summer learning gap. We look at the summer parental investment gap. @joelabriola and I find larger SES gaps during the summer, and larger gaps for younger school-age children than older children.

@enzoreds What an odd take now that I've read the piece. @MattPolProf core point seems to be that too much liberal philosophy fails to take power seriously enough.
