Description

Episode 7 dives into class theory as we discuss why it’s important to make a normative case for class politics, misconceptions about who the working class is, and why the labor market dominates. We also ruminate on why workers don’t always organize and why solidarity is a counterculture. Plot twist: Lillian accuses everyone except herself of class reductionism. Lillian Cicerchia, "Why Does Class Matter?", Social Theory and Practice 47:4 (2021):  https://philpapers.org/go.pl?id=CICWDC&proxyId=&u=https%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.5840%2Fsoctheorpract2021916136 Claus Offe and Heimut Weisenthal. “Two Logics of Collective Action.” In Disorganized Capitalism.
