When academic partners disagree on economic critiques of mass incarceration

My research partner and I are writing about economic factors in mass incarceration, but they want to focus on how capitalism drives imprisonment while I think we should emphasize bipartisan solutions that don't challenge the economic system directly. We're both right about different aspects but our paper is becoming incoherent because we can't reconcile these approaches.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collaborative intellectual work breaks down when partners cannot reconcile radical structural analysis with pragmatic political constraints.
