This book, first published in 1983, examines in depth the nature
and sources of class radicalism in France and Britain and takes
issue with some of the major theories of class consciousness and
class action. Drawing on data both from detailed case studies and
from wider national surveys, it shows that the conflict of class
interests within capitalist societies can lead to sharply diverging
attitudes to class inequality. It argues that the explanation of
such differences cannot be found in some 'general' law of the
evolution of social conflict in capitalist society. It must be
sought in the profound institutional differences that exist between
the two societies. In particular the study argues for a
reassessment of the importance of the experience of war and of the
way in which the business and political elite handled the social
crises generated by war, in accounting for the long-term structural
divergence of capitalist societies.
