"Michael Zweig shows that the majority of Americans are actually working class and argues that recognizing this fact is essential if that majority is to achieve political influence and social strength. "Class," Zweig writes, "is primarily a matter of power, not income." He goes beyond old formulations of class to explore ways in which class interacts with race and gender.".
"Believing that we must limit the power of capitalists to abuse workers, communities, and the environment Zweig offers concrete ideas for the creation of a new working class politics in the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
