Abstract "Drawing on centuries of data, Julia Cagé and Thomas Piketty place today's French politics in historical context. France is divided among bourgeois and distinct urban and rural working-class blocs-historically, an unstable structure. The authors show how inequality breeds tripartite competition and argue for the greater potential of two-way rivalry."-- Provided by publisher.
