Class War Then and Now by Chris Wright, 2025

For nearly fifty years, America's working and middle classes have been under relentless attack. Wages have stagnated, inequality has soared, and the vast majority now lives paycheck to paycheck-while trillions of dollars flow upward into the pockets of the wealthiest few. Class War, Then and Now is both a searing indictment of this economic and political order and an impassioned call to arms




for a new left rooted in class struggle, solidarity, and socialist values. Drawing on a decade of essays and articles originally published in outlets such as Dissent, New Politics, CounterPunch, Socialist Forum, Truthout, and Common Dreams, historian Chris Wright examines the deep roots of capitalism's crises and the failures of the contemporary left to confront them. In sharp, accessible prose, Wright tackles: The centrality of class struggle in building a movement that can unite working people Why identity politics, while important, must not overshadow the fight against capitalism The overlooked necessity of nuclear power in addressing climate change Lessons from labor history, from Jimmy Hoffa to modern union battles.
