"Kotkin has written an essential and critical study of emerging class structures at the intersection of technological determinism and post-industrial capitalism. He suggests that technological oligarchs are already controlling our economic future while creating a high-tech neo-feudal society that undermines democracy and economic mobility for the middle and working classes." --John Russo,Visiting Scholar, Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and Working Poor at Georgetown University, Co-editor, Working-Class Perspectives "Joel Kotkin's The Coming of Neo-Feudalism A Warning to the Global Middle Class is a powerful account of the stratification of the worlds most advanced economies in Europe, Asia and North America. But dogmatists of all stripes whether they be Left, Right or Libertarian will have their assumptions particularly challenged by Kotkin's account of his home turf in California. The West Coast was once hailed as the forebear of great things to come and a sublime version of the American dream But Kotkin shows that the landscapes defined by the high tech monopolies of Silicon Valley and the Puget Sound increasingly threaten the death knell for the promise of a middle class future." --Fred Siegel, author of The Revolt Against the Masses "Our society and economy is no longer progressing but regressing into a kind of "neo-feudalism." As Joel Kotkin describes it, our once-great middle class is being eviscerated and America is dividing into a small group of uber-wealthy oligarchs who have colonized luxury cities like San Francisco and New York. A gripping cautionary tale by one of the most provocative and original thinkers of our time, this book is a must read for all those concerned about the future of our cities and our society." --Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class and The New Urban Crisis .

Synopsis
Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism. If the last seventy years saw a massive expansion of the middle class, not only in Ameri, Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism. If the last seventy years saw a massive expansion of the middle class, not only in America but in much of the developed world, today that class is declining and a new, more hierarchical society is emerging.The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times. At the apex of the new order are two classes-a reborn clerical elite, the clerisy, which dominates the upper part of the professional ranks, universities, media and culture, and a new aristocracy led by tech oligarchs with unprecedented wealth and growing control of information. These two classes correspond to the old French First and Second Estates.Below these two classes lies what was once called the Third Estate. This includes the yeomanry, which is made up largely of small businesspeople, minor property owners, skilled workers and private-sector oriented professionals. Ascendant for much of modern history, this class is in decline while those below them, the new Serfs, grow in numbers-a vast, expanding property-less population.The trends are mounting, but we can still reverse them-if people understand what is actually occurring and have the capability to oppose them., Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism.
