Economic relations then appear as comparisons of income or lifestyle rather than as what they truly are-contests of power, at work and in the larger society.Working classUnited StatesWorking classPolitical activityUnited StatesUnited StatesEconomic conditions1981-2001United StatesEconomic conditions2001-2009United StatesSocial conditions1980-2020Working classWorking classPolitical activity305.5/620973Zweig Michael1942-1538517MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781550103321The working class majority3788588UNINA
