Arendt and the Social Question: A Post-Marxist Analysis

Author

Abstract

With the help of the regulationist theory of the wage-labor nexus and the historical sociology of the wage system, this article questions the limitations of Arendt’s concept of the “social.†To provide a fully relevant political theory, Arendt is missing the idea of institutional and collective supports for the effective exercise of democracy by the greatest number, which is precisely the subject which Castel’s historical analyses stressed with the concept of “social property.â€
