Críticas

Perrucci and Wysong offer a refreshing and bold class analysis for the new century. Few books make as compelling a case that the new world of multinational corporations, high technology, and disposable workers is polarized along new and increasingly unbridgeable class lines. The book offers a potent arsenal of concepts and facts about how class works and what we can do to forge a more just society.--Charles Derber, Boston College, author of The Wilding of America and Morality Wars

Reseña del editor

This volume refocuses attention on the class interests that are rapidly polarizing American society. It redefines the terms of class analysis by arguing that the distribution of resources critical to class membership is shaped by large organizational structures and processes located in the economic, political and cultural arenas. The authors discuss why, in the 21st century, class membership will be based on access to a new mix of critical resources: income; investment capital; credentialled skills verified by elite schools; and social connections to organizational leaders. The book is designed for undergraduate students and for citizens concerned about the emerging iceberg of class inequalities - including features that are above and below the waterline of conventional social analysis as well as emerging struggles aimed at changing it.
