White-Collar Proletariat
Author: Michael P. Kelly
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040123295
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
White-Collar Proletariat (1980) explores the major changes in the industrial and political behaviour of British civil servants in the 1970s. It looks at their turn to militancy and asks whether it can be explained by reference to the sociological concept of proletarianization, a concept defined with particular reference to Marx and neo-Marxist writers. Attention is focused on a number of variables which sociologists have regarded as critical, those of level and source of income, social origins and the organization of work.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0

The Working Class Majority
Author: Michael Zweig
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801464781
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
In the second edition of his essential book—which incorporates vital new information and new material on immigration, race, gender, and the social crisis following 2008—Michael Zweig warns that by allowing the working class to disappear into categories of "middle class" or "consumers," we also allow those with the dominant power, capitalists, to vanish among the rich. Economic relations then appear as comparisons of income or lifestyle rather than as what they truly are—contests of power, at work and in the larger society.
