Livingstone. The review discusses how class analysis based on Marxist concepts has fallen out of fashion in the social sciences since the spread of global neoliberalism. However, Livingstone argues for the continued relevance of class analysis and explores the evolution of class relations through globalization. The book examines the subjective changes in the working class, the rise of knowledge workers, the importance of climate change, and new patterns of social mobility. Livingstone suggests that there is a growing class consciousness among non-managerial workers and a potential for progressive transformation of the capitalist system. The review highlights the book's strengths in providing a historically sensitive and empirically rich account of class relations and debunking the myth that growing middle-class identification means workers no longer identify with class interests. However, it also raises questions about the potential for class-conscious views to materialize into action and the possibility of capitalist contradictions being resolved through new waves of accumulation. Overall, the book provides an important reference for understanding contemporary capitalist society. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
