We need to talk about class!
from Think Again Hosted by Jacques and Jennifer
Jennifer and Jacques talk about class - how it has gone out of fashion to talk about it since the 1950s, and especially since the 1980s with neoliberalism and the denial that there is serious wealth and income inequality. Nevertheless, the concept of class seems to be having a revival, with several books on the topic being recently released. It's also worth having a look at the recommended reading list of the Australia InstituteThreadgold, S & Gerrard, J (eds.)
