Description
Virtue Hoarders: A Critique of the Professional Managerial Class The Professional Managerial Class (PMC) elite workers present a paradoxical image of progressive heroism, yet they serve the interests of capitalism. Author Catherine Liu argues that the PMC's emphasis on meritocracy, philanthropy, and self-serving operations hinders social justice and economic redistribution. By promoting individualist ideals, the PMC perpetuates a system that prioritizes consumption habits and taste over meaningful change. Liu's work challenges the notion that making a virtue out of these habits is beneficial. Instead, she advocates for a rejection of such practices, urging readers to consider alternative approaches. This book is part of the Ideas First series, a thought-provoking collection of digital publications that explore fresh ideas and scholarly work.
