Sociology of the bourgeoisie

For the past thirty years, the bourgeoisie has been experiencing the effects of the growing power of finance on industry, politics, and the media. What are the consequences for the different forms of wealth, money, culture, social relations, and prestige that characterize this social class? In what conditions are their dominant positions reproduced from generation to generation? What is the role of family dynasties in this transmission? Is the bourgeoisie, faced with the rise of economic and social inequalities, aware of their consequences for the people? Is it the last social class? The mobilization for the defense of its interests requires increasingly close ties with politics. Can we speak of an oligarchy? It is to these questions about this universe, which is still too little known and prefers to remain so, that this rigorous and accessible book responds.
