“…However, in spite of this direct link, it is noteworthy to mention that the two variables do not depend on each other. This review found several authors who discuss social innovation without mentioning social entrepreneurship (Adams & Hess, 2010;Bouchard, 2012;Cajaiba-Santana, 2014;Froud et al, 2010;Linton, 2009;Spena & de Chiara, 2012). Additionally, social entrepreneurship is critical with respect to social issues, but it is not a key determinant of social innovation (Dawson & Daniel, 2010).…”

“…In the papers reviewed, several authors discuss the relationship between social innovation and social development. They coincide in that both social innovation and social development seek to strengthen social structure and that social innovation facilitates social development (Adams & Hess, 2010;Bouchard, 2012;Cajaiba-Santana, 2014;Dacin et al, 2011;Dawson & Daniel, 2010;Froud et al, 2010;Maak & Stoetter, 2012).…”

“…However, Froud, Johal, Montgomery and Williams (2010) criticize the concept of CSR from a social innovation perspective, claiming that it does not satisfy any real purpose in society because companies' intentions are to increase their profits while pretending that their activities show a strong commitment to society.…”

Purpose: The paper provides an extensive, comprehensive and up-to-date qualitative scoping literature review of financial inclusion and other related concepts, and focuses in particular on the Colombian context, and the accessibility as well as barriers to banking services. It structures the themes and dimensions of scholarly debates on financial inclusion in the literature highlighting avenues for future research to fill various gaps. Design/methodology:This scoping literature review rigorously identifies the most relevant research and variables pertaining to financial inclusion and social innovation.Findings: Based on a scoping literature review, a comprehensive framework of key concepts of financial inclusion, scholarly contributions, countries and variables is presented. Research limitations/implications:Owing to the methodological approach of this paper and its rather theoretical nature, this research seeks to enrich scientific debates pertaining to the empirical data displayed, especially on the case of Colombia. Practical implications:The most central variables that are linked to the theme of financial inclusion are explored, and hence this paper forms a basis for future qualitative and quantitative studies. Social implications:This research article contributes to public policy making on financial inclusion aimed at reducing levels of socio-economic inequality.-582-Intangible Capital -https://doi.org/10.3926/ic.946 Originality/value: In business and management research a degree of conceptual confusion prevails on the theme of financial inclusion. This paper attempts to clarify different types of variables and one country specific case to provide more solid analytical tools for scholars and analysts.

“…Há aspectos que distanciam as "inovações financeiras" das "inovações tecnológicas". Esses foram sobejamente lembrados durante a crise e, é claro, podem construir uma das realidades com as quais estamos lidando (Lordon, 2008;Johal, 2009). Mas também podemos elencar fatores que tornam a analogia razoável, que tornam factível a aproximação das duas noções sociais.…”

C omo era de se esperar, a crise financeira deflagrada em 2008 provocou a Sociologia. Há uma demanda expressiva, uma verdadeira sede de compreensão por parte da sociedade, que procura respostas sobre o evento que globalmente tornou piores as condições de vida e expectativas de enormes parcelas da população. As diversas disciplinas acadêmicas rivalizam e tentam diminuir a assimetria de popularidade a favor da economia ortodoxa que vigorou até a eclosão da crise. As novas vertentes das Ciências Sociais que se ocupam dos fenômenos econômicos e financeiros estão no topo dessa fila, já que tudo indica que seu objeto é o mesmo da disciplina hegemônica. É assim que a lógi-ca social que rege o espaço acadêmico e também as pressões mais diretas de outros setores da sociedade, em especial a mídia e a política, incitam à produção de respostas. E que sejam aquelas com as quais a sociedade sabe e pode lidar: quem são os culpados? Quem facilitou a sua 307 * O artigo é fruto de pesquisas realizadas com o apoio do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) e da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP). Agradeço às agências pelo apoio indispensável. Apresentei versões anteriores do texto em seminário e discussões com vários colegas aos quais também agradeço pelas críticas e sugestões. E mais uma vez minha vontade e inspiração foram infundidas pelos jovens colegas do Núcleo de Estudos em Sociologia Econô-mica e das Finanças (Nesefi), da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar).

“…The prime example here is the housing market. When middle and low incomes stagnate, purchasing a house using income and savings becomes more difficult, and thus credit becomes increasingly important to achieve home ownership (see also Froud et al 2010). In concrete terms, this demand (coupled with the demand for 'durables' such as cars, and the rising costs of college education) has shifted household debt in the US economy from 48% of GDP in the early 1980s to around 100% of GDP before the crisis (Milanovic 2009), at an estimated total value of $12.5 trillion in 2009 (Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2013).…”

Egalitarianism and the Great Recession: A Tale of Missed Connections?

The main aim of this paper is to act as a corrective to the comparatively deafening silence of egalitarian political philosophy's response to the Great Recession. The paper thus provides an accessible analysis of a new strand of empirical research into the causes of the crisis. This new literature, which has largely gone unnoticed by the broader philosophical community, maintains that the main driver of financial instability is income and wealth inequality coupled with income stagnation at the bottom of the income distribution. Building on this empirical research, the paper puts forward six connections between egalitarian political philosophy broadly construed, and the findings of the new literature it surveys. These connections are understood as operating in two directions: that is, they both provide reasons for egalitarians to play a larger role in debates concerning the moral aspects of financial instability, and also offer valuable insights to egalitarians to reorient their position concerning central facets of their arguments.
