The essays in this volume expound a new theoretical perspective on the formation and function of the middle class. Drawing on currents within Marxism, particularly Marxist structuralism, the essays first re-examine the basic tenets of class structure theory, then develop their own approach and methodology. This approach is then applied to the study of the North American intermediate class. Why is it sometimes liberal and progressive, sometimes a social basis for right-wing reaction?
'...specialists in Marxist class theory will find it covers most recent developments in analysis and is constructively self-critical.' -- Reviewing Sociology, Vol 3, Issue 3, 1984

Class & social development
Somewhat too brief and definitely dated, but nonetheless an important text of socialist feminist theory. Offers an historical account of the rise of a separate sphere of personal life and family under capitalism.
I really wish the author was much more critical of psychoanalysis. Zaretsky seems to think that that this form of thought (which he acknowledges is sexist, "bourgeois," and ahistorical) is necessary to account for the subjective, sexual, and interpersonal aspects of human life. But what he has essentially done is slot in psychoanalysis where FEMINISM properly belongs. The more (failed) efforts to reconcile Marxism and psychoanalysis I encounter, the more clearly I recognize that this is basically what is happening each time. A wholly historically materialist feminist (derived from the early Marx rather than from psychoanalysis) would be a much better starting point for considering these issues in a Marxist framework.
