This book explores the idea of social class in the liberal tradition. It collects classical and contemporary texts illustrating and examining the liberal origins of class analysis—often associated with Marxism but actually rooted in the work of liberal theorists. Liberal class analysis emphasizes the constitutive connection between state power and class position. Social Class and State Power documents the rich tradition of liberal class theory, its rediscovery in the twentieth century, and the possibilities it opens up for research in the new millenium.

Exploring an Alternative Radical Tradition

Social Class and State Power

The bulk of the average Westerner's infinitesimal knowledge of Islam and of Middle Eastern Muslim societies is derived from an image which not only film and television industries portray but also daily and weekly publications as well the media in general. This knowledge of these Muslim societies that are tribally organized appears to be images of violence and terrorism that we associate with the Middle East. In David Hart's view all of this represents the grossest possible misrepresentation. He has singled out a small number of films and works of fiction directed and written by both Westerners as well as Muslims. They tend to show tribesmen as one admittedly small but nonetheless striking segment of the overall Middle Eastern Muslim population, in a more favorable light.

This book reveals how government and its allies (like business associations) can help people to start businesses that have the potential to grow rapidly and make major contributions to the economy. Although many entrepreneurs think of government as the enemy, and many policy-makers simply ignore entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs, this volume argues that the two groups should be allies, since their goals of building a vibrant economy and new businesses are interconnected. Contributors to the volume assert that mutual education and careful attention to the design of new policies will help this alliance to grow stronger.
