Description
Book SynopsisTo fix political inequality, it is important to understand exactly how class divisions manifest themselves in political outcomes, and what factors serve to enhance, or depress, inequalities in political voice. Christopher Ellis argues citizens - and legislators - views of class politics are driven by lived experience in particular communities.
