From the rear cover
Has "class" -- once considered the master narrative of British history -- fallen, failed, and been dismissed? Although politicians in Britain are now calling for a "classless society", can one conclude, as do many scholars, that class does not matter anymore? David Cannadine offers a fresh and insightful perspective on these questions, uncovering the meanings of class for such disparate figures as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Margaret Thatcher. His book demonstrates the key moments in which thinking about class shifted, such as the aftermath of the French Revolution and the rise of the Labour Party in the early twentieth century.
