White-collar government Across the board, white-collar government is good for white-collar Americans and bad for the less fortunate. Nicholas Carnes, White-Collar Government © 2019 Kwiple.com
White-collar government Because our legislatures are so imbalanced along social class lines, the opinions of the blue-collar workers who make up a majority of the population are all but excluded from this process. The views lawmakers refine and enlarge are not those of the public: they are those of white-collar Americans. Nicholas Carnes, White-Collar Government © 2019 Kwiple.com
White-collar workers What we are witnessing is the emergence of a new white-collar working class, subject all the regimentation and discipline of its predecessor, but lacking the latter's solidarity, its willingness to organize and to fight its cause in the workplace.

White-collar workers Whatever history they have had is a history without events; whatever common interests they have do not lead to unity; whatever future they have will not be of their own making. If they aspire at all, it is to a middle course, at a time when no middle course is available, and hence to an illusory course in an imaginary society. C. Wright Mills, White Collar © 2015 Kwiple.com
