The Working Class Majority: America’s Best Kept Secret
The United States is not a middle class society, says Michael Zweig.

What’s Class Got to Do with It?: American Society in the Twenty-First Century
The contributors to this volume argue that class identity in the United States has been hidden for too long. Their essays, published here for the first time, cover the relation of class to race and gender, to globalization and public policy, and to the lives of young adults. They describe how class, defined in terms of economic and political power rather than income, is in fact central to Americans’ everyday lives. What’s Class Got to Do with It? is an important resource for the new field of working class studies.
