Class After Industry

Zusatztext

<p>The transition to twenty-first century post-industrial capitalism from the welfare industrial capitalism of the twentieth century, has affected the ways in which class is lived in terms of relational inequality and the factors that structure identity.<i>Class After Industry</i>takes a complex realist approach to the dynamics of individual lives, places, the social structure and analyses their significance in terms of class. A wide range of quantitative and qualitative studies are drawn on to explore how life after industry shapes class, and the consequent potential for social change. The book will be of interest across the social sciences and beyond, to those concerned with how class forms might translate into political action.</p><p> </p><p><b> </b></p><p><b> </b></p>
