| Sumario: | The article discusses the relationship between the politics of recognition and the politics of distribution. After the intense theoretical focus over the last fifteen years or so on the issues of recognition politics- multiculturalism, multi-nationalism, identity politics, group-differentiated rights, the accommodation of difference, and so on- some social theorists have worried that attention has been diverted from important issues of distributive equality- systematic impoverishment, increasing material inequality, "structural" unemployment, the growth of oligarchic power, global economic segmentation, and so on.
