THE PEOPLE
\n<\/strong>The rise and fall of the working class, 1910-2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even the title of Selina Todd's bestseller The People: The Rise and Fall of the Working Class, 1910-2010 has it all: it describes how the working class rose from \u201cthe poor\u201d to \u201cthe people\u201d. The working classes became the central, all-important milieu of the population, \u201cthe people\u201d. This centrality was accompanied by a sense of pride, the confidence that things would slowly but steadily improve for the \u201ccommon people\u201d. Until political and social changes reversed this trend, confidence in the future was replaced by fear and the working classes began to feel increasingly marginalised. Based on oral history sources and many of her own conversations, Selina Todd succeeds in creating a portrait of the British working class in the 20th century - especially, but not only. Anyone who wants to understand the anger and alienation of the working classes in recent years cannot avoid Selina Todd's magnificent study.<\/p>\n
