While Honneth develops a theory of recognition according to which the development of capitalism and social institutions is the result of communication processes in which social conflicts take part actively, Fraser develops a dual theoretical model in which economic inequalities have part of their roots in systemic mechanisms that function relatively autonomously and are, therefore, independent of norms and social conflicts.
