/475/ Class Power: Professionals, Petits and Proles ft. Dan Evans

On class formation, fragmentation, pessimism and optimism.

George and contributing editor Leigh Phillips talk to Dan Evans, a writer and academic based in South Wales. We discuss his piece in the New Socialist, ‘Is the Working Class Back?’ and themes emerging from it.

  • How important are definitions of class?

  • If the working class remains weak and fragmented, and its politics increasingly chaotic, what is to be done?

  • How does Gabriel Winant's pessimism about the industrial working class compare to Evans'?

  • What are the class contradictions of the contemporary Left?

  • Who is the real oppositional class today? Should we be more positive about the petite bourgeoisie?
