Our focus on structures and power must go further to evaluate the dynamics of injustice baked into law and political economy. That includes foregrounding the ways in which capitalism is thoroughly raced and gendered, both in domestic and global politics. The ongoing legacies of colonialism, for example, are often discounted in U.S. scholarship. Questions of justice further challenge us to reframe entrenched divisions between the economy and the social and natural worlds, along with our understanding of the human condition. How do we get to social and economic justice, and what does that goal look like, both nationally and internationally? What institutions and policy tools can we use to facilitate meaningful progress toward effective and just distribution and production for all people, and what institutions, ideas, and policies stand in the way? As an example, we could think of the Covid vaccine roll out across demographics and national boundaries. How does the response to Covid link into broader agendas, such as the Green New Deal?
