AdLand’s Class Ceiling: Why Class Anxiety is a Global Issue
Description:
Class, we’re told, is a UK problem, one epitomised by private schools and Downton Abbey. But what if class isn’t just about how you take your tea? What if class, and the enduring inequality it facilitates, is just as powerful, just as divisive, and just as destructive all over the world? What if it’s an inequality devil wearing many masks? Proud class warrior Dan Cullen-Shute, renowned academic Daniel Laurison, and Common People founder, Lisa Thompson examine how class influences global politics, capitalism, diversity and more, and how it might just be holding us all back.
