Structure And Legitimation In Capitalism: Law, Power, And Justice In Market Society, Yochai Benkler Oct 2025

Structure And Legitimation In Capitalism: Law, Power, And Justice In Market Society, Yochai Benkler

Law and Contemporary Problems

This article introduces a new institutional political economy of capitalism that explains the distinctive dynamics that drive sustained productivity growth, recurring social dislocation, and persistent patterns of exploitation in modern market societies. It then analyzes the role of law in structuring social relations of production in capitalism and legitimating those structures so as to stabilize the asymmetric social relations they create. Law structures social relations of production by allocating control over labor, knowledge, natural resources, and technology, as used for purposes of both subsistence and market-oriented production, as well coordination and cooperation in labor and investment processes, access to means …

Diverse Legalities: Towards A Legal Theory For A Postcapitalist Political Economy, Amy J. Cohen, Stephen Healy Oct 2025

Diverse Legalities: Towards A Legal Theory For A Postcapitalist Political Economy, Amy J. Cohen, Stephen Healy

Law and Contemporary Problems

Law and political economy (LPE) scholars have revived a longstanding debate over the relationship among law, capitalism, and postcapitalist possibility. Is law a creature of capitalism, destined to reproduce its dynamics of exploitation and dominance? Or are there moments of indeterminacy in law that function specifically as openings to a postcapitalist elsewhere?

We enter this debate by posing a different question. Following feminist Marxist economic geographers J.K. Gibson-Graham, we ask what questions arise for LPE scholars if we begin instead with the presumption "that postcapitalist worlds are already here but have been cast into shadow by a singular economic framing …

The Public Rule Of Law, Jonathan S. Gould Aug 2025

The Public Rule Of Law, Jonathan S. Gould

Law and Contemporary Problems

Across the globe, residents of many democracies worry that their public officials threaten the rule of law. But what, precisely, does that mean? Much of the literature on what the rule of law requires focuses on what it demands when government interacts with private parties. This article examines what I call the public rule of law, asking what the rule of law has to say about how public power is organized and exercised.

In doing so, I consider four approaches to the rule of law in a public law context. First, a rule of law problem could arise from an …
