Class

Les fractures économiques façonnent chaque aspect de la vie moderne, des dynamiques professionnelles et mouvements politiques aux récits que nous construisons sur ceux qui méritent le succès. Ces livres examinent comment les hiérarchies sociales sont construites, maintenues et contestées, en explorant les expériences vécues des travailleurs aux côtés des systèmes qui stratifient la société par la richesse, la profession et les opportunités.

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
