Organization studies of inequality, with and beyond Piketty
探讨商业、管理与组织研究如何与皮凯蒂的《21世纪资本论》有效对话，指出其框架在公司治理、避税政策和金融化方面的不足，并呼吁组织学者参与跨学科不平等研究。
Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the 21 st Century did much to bring discussions of economic inequality into the intellectual and popular mainstream. This article indicates how business, management and organization studies can productively engage with Piketty’s book. It does this by deriving practical consequences from Piketty’s proposed division of intellectual labour in general and his account of ‘super-managers’ in particular. There are organizational specificities to inequality which Piketty’s framework does not address, however. His account of corporate governance, of tax avoidance policy and of financialization, in particular, requires significant conceptual and empirical supplementation. We argue that business, management and organizational scholars should contribute to the cross-disciplinary inequality research project which Capital in the 21 st Century proposes not despite these limitations but because of them.
