Document Summary

The inherent tension between capitalism and citizenship. Tensions between class and citizenship: marx and rousseau. Marshall"s vision of the radical potential of social citizenship. How does the corporate community gain and maintain political power. Marx on tensions between class inequalities and citizenship: Political emancipations and political equality not possible if there is no emancipation from social/economic servility. Civil rights of citizenship (even when legally available for all) would in reality be meaningful for only the few (as long as civil rights focused on protection of private property) Rousseau on tensions between class inequalities and citizenship: Bring the extremes as close together as possible. These two estates, which are naturally inseparable, are equally fatal to the common good. From the one come fomenters of tyranny and from the other the tyrants . That the states claim to equality is only apparent and illusory. It serves to maintain the poor man in his misery and the rich man in his usurpation.
