On the PMC.

On Thursday 9 November, George Hoare and Alex Hochuli took part in a conversation with Catherine Liu about their recent books – The End of the End of History and Virtue Hoarders, respectively. The focus was on the social and political role of the Professional-Managerial Class in historical context.

The webinar was hosted and presented by the UCI Humanities Center, as part of their Ideas with Impact series and we're reposting the conversation as a podcast here.

Important discussion which I feel could have gone on much longer. The insidious effort to make everything about race and identity to undermine solidarity and class consciousness is reflected in this White House’s policies. Just look at the wording of this Kamala Harris’ recent Maternal Health Bill: “And think about it: Regardless of income level, regardless of education level, Black women, Native women, women who live in rural areas are more likely to die or be left scared or scarred from an experience that should be safe and should be a joyful on” https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/12/07/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-at-the-maternal-day-of-action-summit/ Rather than actually expanding healthcare to the poor, we’re meant to believe the Beyoncés of the world are just as endangered by “racist doctors” as poor black women in the projects of the South Bronx.

As you discussed, the media of course fuels this delusion that all black women regardless of income are under dire threat of being victimized by this “racist healthcare system” and poor black women are kept invisible and we don’t give a shit until someone of status has suffered: “Even Black mothers with health insurance and above-average incomes who receive timely medical care can encounter problems. The issue gained heightened attention in 2018, when both tennis player Serena Williams and singer Beyoncé publicly spoke about nearly dying from childbirth. Allyson Felix, an Olympic track star who participated in Tuesday‘s White House event, said in a statement her pregnancy complications risked her and her daughter’s life. “After my traumatic experience, I decided to use my voice to call out racial injustice in our healthcare system,” Felix said. “I am proud to fight with her to make sure maternal health equity is a reality for all women and girls.” https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-12-07/vice-president-harris-urges-senate-to-keep-maternal-health-in-spending-package?_amp=true
