The petty-bourgeoisie is the social base for both modern conservatism - for Trump, Boris and Brexit - AND the contemporary radical left. Yet it is also the most misrecognized and disavowed class, and - as the class of the Chuds and the Deanos -the class it's most permitted to mock. Dan Evans is author of a crucial new book, A Nation of Shopkeepers: The Unstoppable Rise of the Petty Bourgeoisie (Repeater Books), giving a brand new account of the shape of this strange class, and calling for a new radical political coalition of working class and petty bourgeois tradespeople and small business owners. The Deano meme can be found here.
