The book provides unprecedented tracking of the links between employment classes and higher levels of class consciousness, including the often hidden political consciousness of corporate capitalists as well as the extent of oppositional and revolutionary consciousness among non-managerial workers. The large differences exposed between class conscious capitalists and these non-managerial workers on issues of poverty reduction and global warming reveal the strategic roles these key class agents play in actions to defend or transform advanced capitalism. The most concerted evidence-based study to bring class back into grasping the intimately linked ecological, economic and political crises we now face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can view the lecture here:<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DWLivingstone Book Launch\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UUDlUI1xnB0?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 20, 2023 the Institute of Political Economy, Carleton University, and the Canadian Centre of Policy Alternatives hosted a book launch for book launch for David Livingstone&#8217;s 2023 Tipping Point for Advanced Capitalism: Class, Class Consciousness, and Activism in the &#8220;Knowledge Economy &#8220;, published by Fernwood Press.
