Neo-pluralist political science, economic sociology and the conceptual foundations of the comparative capitalisms literatures

---

In this paper, we critically assess two of the key conceptual foundations for the
comparative capitalisms (CC) literatures, neo-pluralist political science and economic
sociology, in order to identify more clearly the deep intellectual roots of these literatures.
Principally, we focus on how the strengths of neo-pluralism and economic sociology –
their attention to detail in considering the huge range of ‘types’ of capitalism that exist
across the world – come at a high price. Put briefly, the redefinition of ‘capitalism’
as ‘the economy’ concentrates research agendas on the specific political and social
conditions found across the world, leaving ‘the economy’ relatively untouched. In
consequence, ‘capitalist diversity’ is quickly, and often silently, equated to ‘political
diversity’ or ‘social diversity’. As such, a key weakness of CC scholarship, identified
by various authors in this Capital & Class special issue – that it does not provide
a satisfactory theoretical understanding of capitalist societies – is a problem that
runs deeper than the limitations that can be observed in contemporary debates. The
implications of our argument are discussed in the conclusion.
