The article explores recent contributions that rely on the combination of ideas from Karl Marx and Karl Polanyi to conceptualize social struggles. Two approaches are presented: selective perspectives, which highlighted the differences between class struggles as defined by the Marxist tradition and social reactions theorized by Karl Polanyi’s double movement, and inclusive viewpoints, that emphasized the potential convergence between these different expressions of contestation. Thus, we seek the basic elements of a theory of the structural roots of social struggles in contemporary capitalism. Thereafter, the article explores with greater attention the theories of Michael Burawoy and Nancy Fraser. A comparative reading indicates that this theoretical project is promising because it allows for social struggles to be linked to systemic contradictions, but it also shows that relevant conceptual difficulties persist. The conclusion is that more than a definitive theory, the debates raised by this theoretical outlook suggest central questions for the reflection on labor, classes and capitalist societies at large.
