/475/ Class Power: Professionals, Petits and Proles ft. Dan Evans
On class formation, fragmentation, pessimism and optimism.
George and contributing editor Leigh Phillips talk to Dan Evans, a writer and academic based in South Wales. We discuss his piece in the New Socialist, ‘Is the Working Class Back?’ and themes emerging from it.
How important are definitions of class?
If the working class remains weak and fragmented, and its politics increasingly chaotic, what is to be done?
How does Gabriel Winant's pessimism about the industrial working class compare to Evans'?
What are the class contradictions of the contemporary Left?
Who is the real oppositional class today? Should we be more positive about the petite bourgeoisie?
