This was one of my favourite books of 2023. I’ve shared excerpts with my college students, too, when we talk about building argument and mixing personal viewpoint with research. There’s so much in the text that everyone finds an idea to latch onto and take away. As a book subject, it’s important and timely. All of us understand class because it permeates our lives—but when we see it articulated on the page, we become aware of how much it determines our lives and our choices. Since reading it, I’ve become much more critical when I hear politicians talking about what they will do for the “middle class.”
