The central claim of this book is that the dichotomy between
economic dependence and economic independence is completely
inadequate for describing the political challenges faced by
contemporary capitalist welfare states. The simplistic contrast
between markets and states as sources of income renders invisible
the relations of dependence established in our basic economic
institutions such as the family, property, and money. This book is
a work of political theory that attacks narrow conceptions of
dependence and identifies distinct senses of dependence that might
allow political communities to make clearer decisions about the
justice of our economic institutions and practices. Inheritance,
for example, is as much a form of dependence as support by a
welfare state, but these are never compared in debates about
economic justice. This book begins the work of comparing forms of
economic dependence, and argues that economic dependence is always
an issue of both vulnerability and parasitism. It builds bridges
between political theory and social science, and is of relevance to
those concerned with social and economic justice in and beyond
contemporary capitalist welfare states.
