The social sciences have a legitimacy problem in the modern world.
The natural sciences are viewed as 'proper science' by journalists
and policy-makers because they discover 'truths', make money, and
help governments solve problems. In turn, defenders of the social
sciences borrow the language of instrumentality, profit and policy
impact. Karl Spracklen, by contrast, makes the moral case for the
social sciences, arguing that they are a necessary social good
capable of fighting inequality and revealing the workings of
hegemonic power.
