In the recent years, progressive lawyers have sought to bring considerations of class and political economy back to the centre of legal analysis. Coalescing around ClassCrits and, more recently, the Law and Political Economy movement, legal scholars have taken aim at the role of law in sustaining a profoundly unjust and unsustainable neoliberal political economy. This emerging body of literature highlights the (mal)distributive effects of facially neutral laws and the ways that law contributes to the constant remaking of class relations. The flip coin of this relationship, namely the effect of political economy on the existence, interpretation and application of law, is less examined, probably because of the distinctly Marxist flavour of this question.

I just want to compliment the person who made the hummus, but no one will tell me who made it.
I wish I could tell you who made it so you’d shut up about it.
I’ll shut up about it when I get some answers.
Hey, Eric, did you make this hummus? It’s delicious.
No, I didn’t make it either, and why do you have to compliment the person who made it? Can’t you just eat it and move on?
Because last year when I came to this office party, I made a spinach artichoke dip and no one said shit to me about it. Someone should have said something. Do you remember that dip I made?
No, it was a long time ago. I’ve probably eaten thirty or forty dips since then, so I don’t remember your stupid dip.
Exactly. People forget dips and the people who made them. We need to talk about the elephant in the room while there’s still time.
