The New Class War

In this provocative analysis, Michael Lind explores the underlying tensions between the managerial overclass and the working class in Western democracies, challenging common perceptions about populist movements. He traces how the decline of traditional class compromises has fueled a new class war over issues like immigration, trade, and social values. Lind emphasizes that a genuine resolution requires incorporating the working class into decision-making processes across politics, the economy, and culture to prevent ongoing conflicts and preserve democracy.
