White Collar: The American Middle Classes (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of the American middle class, tracing its roots in the world of small entrepreneurs and independent farmers. The author explores the era of classic liberalism, when individual freedom and property ownership were seen as the cornerstones of a self-balancing society. He argues that this ideal was based on a specific type of property: "democratic property", which was closely tied to the owner's work and provided a foundation for personal freedom and economic security. However, the book reveals how this world was gradually transformed by the rise of industrial capitalism, with its emphasis on large-scale enterprises and wage labor. The author demonstrates how the centralization of property, the decline of small farming, and the shift towards class property, where the owner does not work but instead manages the labor of others, fundamentally altered the social structure and the way individuals lived their lives. The book offers a compelling analysis of how these historical changes impacted the middle class, revealing the complex dynamics that have shaped its identity and its place within American society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331246305_0
