The Status Revolution
The Improbable Story of How the Lowbrow Became the Highbrow
Book • 2023
In The Status Revolution, Chuck Thompson investigates the evolving meaning of status in contemporary society.
He reveals how what was once considered low status has become prestigious, examining examples from indigenous art in British Columbia to luxury car manufacturing in Italy and social justice movements.
The book challenges centuries of conventional wisdom about status, showing how it is no longer a zero-sum game but a more democratized and complex social force.
Thompson combines cultural analysis with humor and insight to explain this profound social transformation.
