About “The hidden injuries of class”
The book examines class not as a matter of economic status or statistics but as an emotional experience shaped by societal judgments of achievement and respect. It explores how individuals internalize hierarchical standards of value, leading to hidden psychological injuries, and argues that true egalitarianism requires replacing a rigid scale of achievement with diverse conceptions of human dignity.
