«A Classe Média: Ascensão e Declínio» is the sociological essay by Elísio Estanque, published by Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos in paperback (115 pages, in Portuguese).
The essay analyzes the middle class as a controversial social category: in austerity-era Europe, especially in Portugal, it faces a risk of impoverishment. Estanque questions whether it is a class with its own identity and sees it as a plural group in intermediate positions, with approaches, examples and trends from a critical sociological perspective.
Published in 2012, it is number 23 of the Ensaios da Fundação collection, published by Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos.
For readers interested in sociology, social stratification and current debates on the middle class.
