Class structure in Italian society presents some important specific characteristics in relation to other ‘advanced’ capitalist countries. I shall deal with these specific characteristics especially, using statistical and descriptive material which has only recently become available, following on new research and studies in this field. Then, as a conclusion to this paper, I shall deal with the problem of interpreting these specific characteristics, asking particularly whether they should be put down to the ‘backwardness’ (or insufficient development) of Italian capitalism, or, whether we should rather see them as the expression of the Italian economy's ‘peripheral’ position inside the Western capitalist system.

Advanced Capitalist

This chapter argues that the information and communications technology revolution clearly illustrates the underlying hypotheses of the book: first, that advanced capitalist democracies have been remarkably resilient in the face of major shocks—even given the rise of populism, neither advanced capitalism, nor advanced democracy, nor the autonomy of the advanced nation state, are under attack. Second, that the advanced capitalist democracies face political opposition from groups who feel that they and their children are left out of and excluded from the benefits of the “American Dream” (or equivalent); and can organize (or be organized) politically. Third, apart from small isolated groups—for example, the Occupy movement—effective political opposition is in no way socialist, nor is it concerned to destroy or take over advanced capitalism.

Culture without Class? – Class without Culture?The article argues that it is still a plausible assumption that a crucial mutual relationship of exchange and influence exists between material life conditions and the formation of consciousness and cultural meaning, but that this relationship today is of a far more complex and differentiated nature than assumed by the classic theories about »culture and class«. Hence, contemporary social and cultural struggles are being carried out on other terms than previously. The argument is made that the class structure of the advanced capitalist countries has been subject to comprehensive changes and that the reproduction of the concrete cultural contexts of life and meaning, societally integrated and conditioned as they are, at the same time eludes conceptualisation on the basis of traditional theories of class and a priori determining patterns of development.

House Building

This book seeks to explain how the Corporation of Glasgow, in its large-scale council house-building programme in the inter- and post-war years, came to reproduce a hierarchical Victorian class structure. The three tiers of housing scheme which it constructed – Ordinary, Intermediate, and Slum-Clearance – effectively signified First, Second and Third Class. This came about because the Corporation uncritically reproduced the offensive and patriarchal attitudes of the Victorian bourgeoisie towards the working-class. The book shows how this worked out on the ground in Glasgow, and describes the attitudes of both authoritarian housing officials, and council tenants. This is the first time the voice of Glasgow’s council tenants has been heard. The conclusion is that local council housing policy was driven by unapologetic considerations of social class.

The class structure of transition metals chemisorbing carbon monoxide was determined by expressing the following fundamental parameters in the form of functions: The molar heat capacity, the 1st and 2nd ionization energy, the heat of fusion, Pauling electronegativity, the electric conductivity, Debye temperature, the atomic volume of metal. Adsorption heats have been predicted for twelve transition metals.
