Social conflicts and voting patterns in Western nations indicate a
gradual erosion of working-class support for the left, a process
that class theory itself cannot adequately explain. "Farewell to
the Leftist Working Class" aims to fill this gap by developing,
testing, and confirming an alternative explanation of rightist
tendencies among the underprivileged. The authors argue that
cultural issues revolving around individual liberty and maintenance
of social order have become much more significant since World War
II. The obligation to work and strict notions of deservingness have
become central to the debate about the welfare state. Indeed,
although economic egalitarianism is more typically found among the
working class, it is only firmly connected to a universalistic and
inclusionary progressive political ideology among the middle class.
"Farewell to the Leftist Working Class" reports cutting-edge
research into the withering away of working-class support for the
left and the welfare state, drawing mostly on survey data collected
in Western Europe, the United States, and other Western
countries.
