The idea of socialism seems to be back. In light of the economic crises of the past decade, the rise of right-wing populism and authoritarian capitalism, and the social and economic turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a cautious resurgence of socialist ideas in political philosophy, economics, and political debate. The aim of this Special Issue is to take up one particular aspect of the debate about socialism, namely the idea that there might be a middle ground between capitalism and a world without any kind of markets: This is the core of the concept of market socialism, which aims to combine the advantages of markets with the advantages of socialism. Obviously, the world is still deeply marked by inequality and injustice, and economic exploitation and misery. The role that capitalist markets play in this, whether they contribute to the problem or might also contribute to solutions, is quite debatable. Market socialism has been positioned here as an alternative.

ABSTRACT The paper introduces the notion of ‘digital behavioral technologies’ and discusses them from the perspectives of vulnerability and justice, thereby integrating perspectives from bioethics or public health ethics and political philosophy. Digital behavioral technologies have seen a massive uptake in recent years, but the market for them is hardly regulated. We argue that understanding the impact of digital behavioral technologies requires understanding individuals not as abstract, atomized agents, but rather to take their embeddedness into social structures into account. This also allows extending the focus to groups, relationships and whole societies, which are often structurally unjust. This perspective provides a corrective to an overly individualistic consideration of digital behavioral technologies, which may suggest itself because of their focus on individual bodies. We point out some implications of this integrated approach with regard to the regulation of digital behavioral technologies. We conclude by describing some implications both for those who work on digital behavioral technologies and for those who work on questions of vulnerability and justice.

This article comparatively analyzes the participation of two industrial associations in the politics of signification of the recent Brazilian recession (2014–2016), highlighting the frames they use to define the relevant problem and advance necessary remedies, and the artifacts they deploy to make such frames plausible and elicit support for their claims. In this sense, it contributes to recent debates about the social construction of futures, offering a processual framework to analyze future making by organized business interests in times of a crisis. It emphasizes the peculiarity of (1) crises, as moments in which the present is uncertain and subject to a politics of signification, dependent on the ability of actors to develop framing narratives and deploy artifacts of persuasion to create resonance and public support (2) and of remedies, prescribed futures based on the definition of a problematic situation that may rely on simple takeaway objects.

In recent decades, and in particular since the shift towards independent central banks, there has been no explicit coordination of fiscal and monetary policy. In the Eurozone, this lack of coordination represents an important flaw, especially since the Eurozone is not an optimal currency area. Complementing monetary union with a transfer union represents one possible solution. This paper argues that the negative impact of post-2008 and post-Covid-19 unconventional monetary policy on income inequalities provides a second reason to coordinate fiscal and monetary policy. Among various institutional arrangements to implement such coordination, the paper defends the idea that the European Central Bank should be sensitive to distributive considerations when formulating its monetary policy. Such an arrangement would help both to contain the distributive side-effects of monetary policy and to at least partially remedy the flaw at the heart of the Eurozone as long as an outright transfer union remains unfeasible.

Annual budgets are key to constituting and governing imagined futures. This paper examines how the signifier ‘future’ is constructed within the Irish budget speeches delivered by finance ministers to parliament between 1970 and 2015. To investigate the discourses of these budget speeches, we employ post-structural discourse theory operationalised through two methods: close reading and corpus-linguistic analysis. Close reading is used to identify the discourses employed and how meanings of signifiers were partially fixed at different moments. This was further examined using corpus-linguistics, specifically a collocate analysis of the word ‘future’, allowing further close examination of such collocates in context. Thus, the paper offers a unique insight into the discursive structuring of ‘future’ in Irish budget speeches over 45 years, highlights the changing structure of the budgetary discourse, periodising these changes, and shows how economic imaginaries of the ‘future’ are produced and reproduced.

Ever-increasing numbers of human interactions with intelligent software agents, online and offline, and their increasing ability to influence humans have prompted a surge in attention toward the concept of (online) manipulation. Several scholars have argued that manipulative influence is always hidden. But manipulation is sometimes overt, and when this is acknowledged the distinction between manipulation and other forms of social influence becomes problematic. Therefore, we need a better conceptualisation of manipulation that allows it to be overt and yet clearly distinct from related concepts of social influence. I argue that manipulation is careless influence, show how this account helps to alleviate the shortcomings of the hidden influence view of manipulation, and derive implications for digital ethics.
