Are They Rich Because Theyre Smart? [Arabic]

Class, Privilege, and Learning Under Capitalism

von Jack Barnes

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Explains the sharpening class inequalities in the United States and the resulting conflicts accelerated by today's slow-burning world depression. It takes apart the self-serving rationalizations of a growing layer of well-paid professionals that their schooling and "brightness" equip them to "regulate" the lives of working people, who can't be trusted to know what's in our own interests. In the coming battles forced upon us by the capitalist rulers, says Jack Barnes, workers will begin to transform ourselves and our attitudes toward life, work, and each other. Only then will we discover our own worth and learn what we're capable of becoming.
