«La guerre des classes» is the essay by François Ruffin, published by Fayard in paperback (243 pages, in French).
Starting from Warren Buffett's assertion that the class war is waged by the rich class and that it is winning, François Ruffin analyzes inequality in France: record profits and megadividends from the CAC 40 against wage stagnation and the transfer of income from labor to capital. Ruffin denounces the self-censorship of the left, which avoids saying «class war», and defends naming the conflict in order to fight it.
The work was originally published on October 8, 2008 and corresponds to number 57 of the Fayard Documents collection.
For readers of political and social essays, especially those who follow the French debate on inequality and the work of journalist François Ruffin.
