- Bandelj (sociology, U. of California-Irvine) and Sowers explore the role of state in capitalist systems of private property rights, the state's redistributive responsibility in protecting economic actors through social transfers and labor regulations, and the rules of exchange for managing the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
