[csaa-forum] structures in society

[Alan McKee]

>Hello everybody!

I'm just starting to write a Marxist self help book and I'm looking for 
some input.

I'm guessing that most CS folk would agree that one of the problems with 
individualistic fantasies of aspirational social mobility is that they 
ignore very real structural issues in society that impede such mobility. 
I'm thinking of things like: access to capital; access to cultural capital; 
networking; self-belief (which I think is clearly distributed inequitably 
across classes); prejudice against particular groups, etc.

My question, then, of youse guys - what do you think are the main 
structural issues which prevent individuals from being treated equitably 
under market capitalism?

Please send all suggestions and comments to a.mckee at qut.edu.au.

Cheers,

Alan
