Gabriel Winant is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Chicago. His writing about work, inequality, and capitalism in modern America has appeared in The Nation, the New Republic, Dissent, and n+1.  We discuss the legacy of Barbara Ehrenreich, the development of her concept of the PMC, uses and abuses of the concept, critiques of its relevance, and the specific ways class relationships changed.
