The Great Class Shift

"""Thibault Muzergues is an insightful observer of people and politics in the transatlantic space. Fluent in American and European trends, he examines the four warring sub-cultures—each pursuing their own righteous revolution—that are pulling our societies apart."" Justin Gest, George Mason University, USA, Author of The New Minority ""If you want to understand the new social classes dominating today’s heated political debate, look no further than this excellent analysis by Thibault Muzergues. By uncovering the structural fault lines underlying the political earthquakes since 2008, he provides the reader with a detailed map not only to the recent past, but also to navigate our political future."" Josef Lentsch, Managing Partner of the Innovation in Politics Institute, Germany, Author of Political Entrepreneurship ""Western societies have changed profoundly over the past quarter century. But the social sciences have not revised their categories of analysis. This is precisely the great interest of Thibault Muzergues' book. It invites us to rethink social stratification to better understand democratic politics in the 21st century."" Dominique Reynié, Sciences Po Paris, France ""Thibault Muzergues has penetrated beneath the surface of western societies to outline the new cleavages that are neither just socio-economic nor just socio-cultural but a complex mixture of the two. It is an important book, written with clarity and insight and with an impressive inside knowledge spanning much of the modern west."" David Goodhart, Head of Democgraphy, Immigration & Integration at the Policy Institute, UK, Author of The Road to Somewhere"
