520    "Social class remains a fundamental presence in British 
       life in the twenty-first century. It is woven into the 
       very fabric of social and political discourse, 
       undiminished by the end of mass industry; unaugmented 
       despite the ascendancy of 'ordinary working people' and 
       other substitute phrases. Absent from this landscape, 
       however, is any compelling Marxist expression or analysis 
       of class. In Class Matters, Charles Umney brings Marxist 
       analysis out of the 19th century textiles mill, and into 
       the call centres, office blocks and fast food chains of 
       modern Britain. He shows how core Marxist concepts are 
       vital to understanding increasing pay inequality, 
       decreasing job security, increasing routinisation and 
       managerial control of the labour process. Providing a 
       critical analysis of competing perspectives, Umney argues 
       that class must be understood as a dynamic and 
       exploitative process integral to capitalism -- rather than
       a descriptive categorisation -- in order for us to better 
       understand the gains capital has made at the expense of 
       labour over the last four decades."--|cProvided by
