Class Consciousness in Advanced Capitalism: General Forms and Recent Trends
From: Tipping Point for Advanced Capitalism
$4.70
This chapter offers profiles of general patterns and trends in all these levels and forms of class consciousness since the early 1980s. The chapter concludes by tracking association between the highest forms of class consciousness and attitudes about poverty and global warming. The focus in this chapter is limited to the responses of anonymous individuals to national surveys in several advanced capitalist countries and on a few replicated questions about levels of class consciousness. The intent is to make rough estimates of general variations and trends. The findings may be suggestive of dispositions to social action. The following chapter examines connections between class positions in production relations and these expressions of class consciousness.
