Summary

White Working Class offers an insightful exploration of the populist movements shaping contemporary politics, particularly focusing on the demographic often referred to as the white working class. The book illuminates the socio-economic and political dynamics that contributed to the 2016 U.S. election outcome and examines the wider global trends of discontent within this group. Joan C. Williams critically analyses the role of the so-called "managerial elite" and highlights their oversight in addressing the needs and frustrations of this vital segment of the population.
