The Importance of Class Consciousness
In 1947 there were four million americans on strike and then you've been time majority of American workers were working class people. Their sense of what they deserved had a lot to do with the fact that they were the ones who went to war. The cold war created the top income percentage of top income bracket in 1961 that was at 90 percent if you were in the top income bracket. Ronald Reagan really destroyed that in 1980 he brought it way way down but um that kind of worker unrest really produced Class Consciousness.
