Abstract
In the broadest terms, testing the theory of the New Class is very simple. We first identify people holding liberal or leftist attitudes. Then we see whether such people are concentrated among those groups (the highly educated, professionals, perhaps government employees) whose objective class interests incline toward the expansion of government and toward hostility toward those institutions (the business firm, the family, the church) that rival government.
