Achterflaptekst

All over the West, party systems have shattered and governments have been thrown into turmoil. The embattled establishment claims that these populist insurgencies seek to overthrow liberal democracy. The truth is no less alarming but is more complex: Western democracies are being torn apart by a new class war.

In this controversial and groundbreaking analysis, Michael Lind, one of America's leading thinkers, debunks the idea that the insurgencies are primarily the result of bigotry and reveals the real battle lines. He traces how the breakdown of class compromises has left large populations in Western democracies politically adrift. We live in a globalized world that benefits elites in high income 'hubs' while suppressing the economic and social interests of those in more traditional lower-wage 'heartlands'.

A bold framework for understanding the world, The New Class War argues that only a fresh class settlement can avert a never-ending cycle of clashes between oligarchs and populists - and save democracy.

Turns conventional wisdom on its head

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 2 juni 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

Great book, though overambitious. The attempt to revive pre-Thatcher Reagan settlement would need a lot more material than a 40k word essay, but where it shines is in highlighting the intellectual hegemony of the upper middle class and its attempts to delegitimise the working class as racists and fools.

In the tradition of Rorty, Goodwin and Goodhart, he points to the legitimate grievances, the middle classes don't want to hear. He also points, in retrospect with great foresight, to the brewing disaster of outsourcing to China.

To get a flavour, read his recent piece in the Us Jewish magazine called "Tablet".

Ever wondered why things don't make sense anymore? You're not alone. Read this book.

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 24 juli 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

This is an excellent book. As I was reading I kept saying: 'Yes! Exactly.....that's what I've been thinking for years but didn't believe anyone else saw the world this way.'
Lind does what is so hard to do these days, he rises above the factionalism and fear created by those at the top and just explains how things got like this, why people are angry and how demagogues simply rode upon the very real and understandable frustrations of people ignored by a liberal elite that sees itself as morally superior but really just serves itself.
I think he missed a trick in not exploring the current politics of moral 'inquisition' created by the same elite, as well as skipping the impact of social media - both in its good and bad aspects.
But, let's face it - these days with the BBC effectively a one-trick pony, the main newspapers dumbed down or manically moralistic, there are scant opportunities to engage with intelligent discussion of politics and economics today.
If you are reading this Michael Lind - well done! Keep up the great work!

Lind does not understand class among a host of other critical elements to his theory.

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 25 april 2021

Geverifieerde aankoop

Lind's book is deeply disappointing as he fails to grasp the concept of a class, instead using the term to define two loosely divided abstractions of the 'uneducated working-class' living in low-density areas, and his 'managerial overclass', a 'metropolitan elite' Lind defines early on as: 'The university-credentialed overclass contains moderately paid schoolteachers and store managers as well as wealthy entrepreneurs.' He sees these by the vast majority as living in high-density areas.

The problem of this being a ludicrously wide net should be obvious. Lind's theory is contradictory, it's confused. It attempts to separate the economic, the political and the cultural, all while providing rational explanations for changes that fail to acknowledge anything emotive or linked in these three groups. He even acknowledges in chapter 7 that being university educated is not an indicator of gaining from neoliberal policy, that owning capital or shares is. He quotes a socialist on letting downtrodden people in positions of power not changing the fact of domination and merely changing the faces. Yet he still brings it back to his 'university-educated managerial overclass', failing to ever recognise the distinct lack of any power managers tend to have until the board level, beyond hiring or firing team members, nor that earning $30,000 or $50,000 as a teacher or manager is is no way an appropriate measure to put millionaires or billionaires in the same "class".

His working class (for much of the book, he prefers to focus on the "native" working class, as any immigrant working class is an inconvenience) is one that votes against immigration purely for the sake of preserving their power of negotiation against "the managerial overclass" - again, a wide net from teachers to the actual capitalists that do the vast majority of the legwork for Lind's theory to make even remote sense. His solution is to increase working class power in his divided economic, political and cultural spheres, primarily by re-installing labour unions, mass parties and churches for each of his respective divisions of politics. He assumes this will create a balance of power that would stop either neoliberal technocrats or populist demagogues winning elections.

Lind's idea is in dire need of post-structuralist critique for Lind to recognise the issue with trusting institutions to instill power into the masses, but it's his cultural division that drastically lets him down. Lind both fails to recognise that there is a conservative elite regularly manipulating the culturally regressive working class as much as there is a neoliberal elite regularly manipulating the culturally progressive sections of the working class (which at times Lind recognises, at times Lind confines to simply being part of his "overclass"). He paints progressive ideas as a boogeyman of neoliberal bosses, attempting to steal steak from the plate of the proletariat. He fails to understand the difference between bigotry which is acted upon as an individual and bigotry which is held but only voted upon. He is furious at the idea of authoritarian values in a way that reveals he is almost certainly unfamiliar with the way philosophical value tests use loaded language to judge tendency based on how the subject interprets that language - going so far as to posit that those who would question the idea of a strong leader, state, and national identity as 'amoral sociopaths'.

Lind's failure ultimately appears to be a lack of reading material outside of the political confines of US politics. He is a product of his nation's norms attempting to think outside it, and sadly he fails to do so sufficiently to create a theory that doesn't rely on abstraction of society into two poorly designated opposed groups.

Brilliant analysis

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 9 december 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

This book sets out two possible futures for Western democracies: a continuation of oligarchic rule by technocratic neoliberals punctuated by disruptive outbreaks of populism, ultimately decaying towards banana republic status, or some version of democratic pluralism, as existed in the West between 1945-1975 and which is currently exemplified by more cohesive and less unequal societies like Japan and South Korea. The 1945 class compromise was based on the fear of communism. Only fear of a similar magnitude will force technocratic neoliberals to loosen their grip on power.

Mixed bag

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 15 augustus 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

A good diagnosis of current problems in western democracies, especially interesting when discussing immigration from a left anti open borders perspective but falls down when trying to get into solutions to the issues. Especially galling is a lack of discussion of climate change and it's likely effects to immigration into western countries.
