Narrative, Machinery, Law
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2020
The book ends with a Coda serving two primary purposes. First, the Coda answers the question of practical takeaways. A book like this one invites questions, especially from people in law- and policy-focused worlds such as law and social science milieus, about what reforms to employee injury law would fix the problems the book raises. The Coda argues that most policy fixes would have to be outside the arena of injury law. In doing so, it shows that the vulnerabilities of employees are structural, produced by a great many laws and economic conditions. Those legal and economically produced vulnerabilities are especially visible and bear down with particular violence within employee injury law, but injury law is not the area of law that can fix those vulnerabilities. Second, the Coda makes clearer the book’s theoretical and methodological contributions, arguing that the book’s examination of employee injury law helps show how an analytical framework focused on path dependency and structural injustice is especially appropriate for understanding capitalism historically and in the present.
