preferences and ignore others in the process of the translation of social divisions into
politics.

from limited cultural capital

interest.

(individual liberty and social order)

middle-class postmaterialism (focus on individual freedom).

b. Kerr: lower general standard of living lower classes want to improve their
economic respects
c. Class mobility: social class mobility weakens class conflict

voting behaviours
