New Class Quotes

• I am told that today rather more than 60 per cent of the men who go to university go on a Government grant. This is a new class that has entered upon the scene. It is the white-collar proletariat. They do not go to university to acquire culture but to get a job, and when they have got one, scamp it. They have no manners and are woefully unable to deal with any social predicament. Their idea of a celebration is to go to a public house and drink six beers. They are mean, malicious and envious . They are scum.

  W. Somerset Maugham

• En el siglo XVIII, James Hargreaves inventó la Spinning Jenny, y Richard Arkwright fue el pionero de la rueca propulsada por agua, que condujo a la producción masiva de algodón. Esto fue verdaderamente revolucionario. Los fabricantes de algodón crearon una nueva clase social: el proletariado urbano. La estructura de la sociedad ya no volvería a ser la misma.

• Con todas sus falsas suposiciones y métodos perversos, el comunismo creció como protesta contra las penurias de los desfavorecidos. En teoría, el comunismo enfatizaba una sociedad sin clases y una preocupación por la justicia social, aunque el mundo sabe por triste experiencia que en la práctica creó nuevas clases y un nuevo léxico de injusticia.

• We have a new class in this country: the deserving rich. ... The deserving rich do nice things for each other. Comforting the unafflicted is something that comes naturally to them.

• Let me go out on a limb and suggest that those who see hints of a new class ideology developing around information technology are not necessarily wild-eyed. "Bit-twiddlers" are neither exactly proletariat nor bourgeoisie. They may not own the means of production in the sense that Marx argued, but they certainly do have significantly control over those means, in a more profound way than the term "symbols analysts" or "knowledge workers" captures. As a rough generalization, they value science and technological problem-solving elegance equally at least with profit.

• We need a legal and political understanding of the right of the refugee, whereby no solution for one group produces a new class of refugees - you can't solve a refugee problem by producing a new, potentially greater refugee problem.

• Esta sociedad en la que dominan los trabajadores del conocimiento corre el riesgo de que se produzca un nuevo "conflicto de clases" entre la gran minoría de trabajadores del conocimiento y la mayoría de trabajadores que se ganarán la vida de forma tradicional, ya sea mediante el trabajo manual... o mediante el trabajo de servicios. La productividad del trabajo del conocimiento -aún abismalmente baja- se convertirá previsiblemente en el reto económico de la sociedad del conocimiento. De ella dependerá la capacidad de la sociedad del conocimiento para ofrecer ingresos decentes, y con ellos dignidad y estatus, a las personas que no trabajan en el conocimiento.

• To renounce the conquest of power is voluntarily to leave the power with those who wield it, the exploiters. The essence of every revolution consisted and consists in putting a new class in power, thus enabling it to realize its own program in life. It is impossible to wage war and to reject victory.

• Ideas about a person's place in society, his role, lifestyle, and ego qualities will lose their hold as the cohesive forces in society disintegrate. Subculture values will proliferate to such a bewildering extent that a whole new class of professionals will arise to control them. Such a Transmutation Technology will deal in fashions, in ways of being. Lifestyle consultants will become the new priests of our civilizations. They will be the new magicians.

• Money is what fueled the industrial society.  But in the informational society, the fuel, the power, is knowledge. One has now come to see a new class structure divided by those who have information and those who must function out of ignorance. This new class has its power not from money, not from land, but from knowledge.
