Working Class Politics in the West

Since 2016, the Working Class has made a spectacular comeback into the public debate. How do social problems for the white working class translate in terms of political affiliations across the Transatlantic space? Why are working class folks rebelling against the establishment in many countries, and what can be done to solve their problems? In this episode of .think Atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues and his guests Justin Gest discuss all these questions - and more.

Justin Gest is an Associate Professor of Policy and Government at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government and author of numerous great books. His teaching and research interests include comparative politics, immigration, and demographic change.
