Exploring the Professional Managerial Class

This chapter examines the origins and significance of the professional managerial class (PMC), tracing its development from the early 20th century to modern times. Featuring an archival interview, the discussion reflects on the PMC's dual role as both advocates for the working class and maintainers of elite interests. It highlights the ideological tensions between the PMC and the working class, particularly during the radical activism of the 1960s, raising critical questions about identity and societal roles.
