The New Class Society Summary

The New Class Society: Goodbye American Dream? by Robert Perrucci

This book explores how class-based resources and interests embedded in large organizations are linked to powerful structures and processes which in turn are rapidly polarizing the U.S. into a highly unequal, 'double diamond' class structure. The authors show how and why American class membership in the 21st century is based on an organizationally-based distribution of critical resources including income, investment capital, credentialed skills verified by elite schools, and social connections to organizational leaders.

The New Class Society Reviews

Perrucci and Wysong vividly document the end of the middle class and the shameful reality of a two-tiered America. This is sociology that speaks truth to power, opens the conversation we need about social class, and exposes the illusions of the American Dream. Required reading for every American concerned with America. -- Charles Derber, professor of sociology, Boston College; author of The Wilding of America and Corporation Nation
