SSISI Public Policy Brief: Understanding the Covid19 Pandemic and its Consequences (read before the Society, 21st May 2020) ; The issue of low pay was important before the pandemic but has become even more visible because of unemployment rates and the necessity of government intervention. The data available before the pandemic indicate the consequences of reliance on low pay in certain sectors, from the necessity of cash transfers to reduce high market inequality rates to consistent debt amongst low income households in order to pay bills. My talk focuses on these data and related policy issues, including the predominance of low pay, reliance on cash transfers, low productivity among SMEs, and a skills gap.

This article outlines a theory of subjectivity and social consciousness that complements prevalent debates in cultural studies about marginality and subjectivity. The article suggests that we can interpret the constitution of subjectivity sociologically as between the nation-state and global market integration. More broadly, we can think about social processes in global market capitalism through returning to class formation. The article draws upon research conducted in Morocco from 1995-97 and again in 2000-02 to illustrate social transformation in market reform.
