Explore the intricate relationship between social class, action, and education in "Social Class, Social Action, and Education" by A. Schutz. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2010, this thought-provoking book spans 269 pages and delves into the emergence of progressive democratic ideas shaped by the evolving practices of a new middle class.

Perfect for educators, sociologists, and anyone interested in the intersection of class and democracy, this first edition offers a rich exploration of contemporary issues in social theory and practice.
