Class Struggles

Think about how many ways the concept of class is used. Sometimes a class crisis is mentioned, and when it is said like this, it is generally claimed that Marxism is blocked and its assumptions and solution proposals have become archaic. There is talk of the collapse of the industrial working class, the rise of the new right and, inevitably, the crisis of the left. On the other hand, there are those who respond to these strong tendencies and manipulations. Dworkin's book Class Struggles, which you are holding in your hands, is one of such works. Of course, he does not just give a straight and wholesale answer, he argues successfully by making mind-expanding comments. With a calm, knowledgeable and distant attitude, he examines the class criticisms at the very beginning and explains in a comfortable language what they emphasize. It explains how recent debates about class and society have developed. Rather than rejecting our understanding of class from top to bottom, it attempts to reconsider criticisms that serve to enrich our understanding of class dynamics. He proposes a synthesis rather than insisting on one or another of the social and cultural approaches. Although it can be problematic as a concept, despite objections that it is in the making, that it sometimes seems elusive, and sometimes that it has reached its limits, "class" provides more possibilities than any other concept in mapping the economic forms of inequality that pervade people's lives.
