This study places the British middle classes in their historical
and regional contexts in order to explain how they exercise a
powerful impact in British society. It develops a theoretical
perspective on the middle classes, criticizing theories of "the
service class", and draws upon the works of Ohlin-Wright and
Bourdieu to develop a theoretical realist perspective which is
sensitive to the variety of ways in which middle class formation
takes place. It argues that the British middle class have been
split between a cohesive and well-established professional middle
class, and an insecure and marginal managerial and self-employed
middle class. This text argues that recent changes in economic
restructuring have enabled the professional middle class to
consolidate its position of dominance. The managerial middle class
are however becoming more marginal and insecure. The book explores
the implications of this position by analyzing processes of social
and spatial mobility, cultural practices and political
mobilization.
