Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back by Joan C. Williams

 Honestly I was surprised to see the heavily negative reviews for this book when I finished because I very much liked it. I have already used information I have learned from this in conversations I've had about politics and why we are where we're at today. I already inherently agreed with Williams' thesis that Democrats need to get back to representing the people and not just academic elites, so I guess that could have biased me. This book is also severely information heavy - I enjoyed that, myself. I think this book was, honestly, written for people who are actually working in politics, rather than the average reader. The audio format of this was well done and made the info-dumping easier to digest.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for an audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.
