YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It would be true to say that the working class has changed but false to say it has disappeared. Automation, atomization, insecurity have been used by some to deny the very existence of class in the modern world, and that class-based politics belongs in the end of history

This is one of many themes playing out in the epic battle to overthrow Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader.

Professor Selina Todd, fellow and vice-principal of St Hilda's College Oxford University, and author of ‘Young Women Work’ and ‘Family in England and The People: the Rise and Fall of the Working Class 1910-2010,’ joins Sputnik this week to give her take on just what being working class means today.
