Here are details of the last-to-be-announced talk at Summer School:
How Middle Class Are You?
A talk by Mike Foster
Regardless of the economic reality of the class divide, there’s a widespread assumption that a middle class has characteristics and interests of its own. What is this belief based on, and how does it persist? If we go looking for the middle class, we’re likely to learn that reaching this status hinges on having a particular type of job or getting paid a certain amount of wages, or even whether we’d rather go to a musical or to a gig.
This talk will examine different attempts to classify the middle class, and to what extent it can be defined as existing.
Bookings for the event will have to close at the end of July, so if you’d like to come along or want more details, visit here: https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/summer-school-2022/
