The Great Middle Class
Revolution: Our Long March Toward a Professionalized
Society
By Melvyn Fein
Reviews
"It finally happened, albeit slowly, but surely, we have
reached a new tipping point in our society. We have
participated in many revolutions over the course of our
history, but [until now] none has locked liberals and
conservatives in a battle that has undermined our
sociological analysis of this current, largely
unrecognized and underestimated, revolution…it surrounds
us, we are part of it, and we should be concerned where
it is taking us. Most Americans have been part of a
revolution and haven’t noticed when it began or why.
Fein puts the pieces together, lots of them, and
predicts the consequences of our society’s latest
cultural war. This book deserves to be widely read; we
all need to understand why wringing our hands will do
little to reverse the trend."

"This is a rare
treatment of social class, tracing and explaining the
emergence of the American Middle Class and the problems
it faces. It examines current solutions posed by both
liberals and conservatives and shows why both sides are
wrong. It proposes that the Middle Class Revolution must
include extension of professional expertise beyond work
to include personal-life decisions. This is an important
book, posing an intelligent antidote to today’s culture
wars. It should be read by anyone interested in where
we’ve been, how we got to where we are, and where we are
going."
