| Abstract | "This book examines Americans and their beliefs about the class divide in the United States. It argues that Americans' beliefs about class and the economic divide develop through a multi-step process. Economic affluence influences the development of world view, measured in terms of ideology, partisanship, and self-identified class consciousness. Class consciousness in turn affects how people look at political and economic issues. This book is intended for scholars and students at every level who study inequality from a political, economic, or sociological position, along with general readers with a growing interest and awareness of the effects of inequality on our democracy"-- Provided by publisher. |
