Abstract
In this article, I attempt to briefly clarify a number of issues regarding what I have tried to achieve in my book Capital and Ideology. I also comment on the many limitations behind such a project,whose main objective is to stimulate further research on the global history of inequality regimes, at the intersection of economic, social and political history. Lastly, I address some of the many stimulating points raised in the reviews, particularly regarding the nature of participatory socialism and its incompleteness.
Keywords: ideological indeterminacy; Swedish revolution; trifunctional societies; propretarian societies; social-democratic societies; participatory socialism; Brahmin left; merchant right
