| I got into an argument last night with a friend of mine. I desperately wanted to argue that biglaw associates were part of the capitalist/ruling/upper class. He won.
In reading Cerriere's Answer, I was struck by the line " . . . if, by class, we mean the amount of economic control you have over your work." (Seems to be almost the same as the "pawn your license" critique.) I found this definition remarkable because it turns on its head assumptions about class as a descriptor of purchasing power, political clout, or relationship to industry/productivity. |
