Abstract

This editorial argues that it is futile and counterproductive to separate class, culture and economics, and the concept of ‘culture wars’ serves the purpose of deflecting from issues of class inequality. It insists that to understand the reproduction of social and economic power it is essential to consider class, culture and economics as integrated and dialectically dependent.
