The Professional-Managerial Class (1976) - by Barbara and John Ehrenreich
This is the theoretical treatise on the concept of the PMC that first coined "PMC." People are often quick to use or dismiss this concept without having spent time with this work. The tendency today is to reduce it to how it gets used, not to actually think through its theoretical development or the arguments made herein. Join Dave in getting an actual basis in this seminal work.

PMC analysis is about a mode, mindset, and ideology rather than an identity-based dismissal or slur
PSA: Regardless of how it has been used by some randos on the internet, "PMC analysis" has been and should be about a mode, mindset, and ideology more than a critique of someone’s identity.
The clip is from Michael Brooks interviewing Dr. Adolph Reed Jr. which can be watched in its entirety here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiCB-H00r48&t=1348s
The conversation Why PMC Critique Matters with Elton LK can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt6t9GRTO_s&t=405s

If you take a course or join a discussion, there will be a group with dedicated forums on the website. Because fuck Discord. We want to honor quality questions, not bury them. We want to honor people who actually read as opposed to staying glued to their phones all day, so we aren't going to become reliant on a "community" app that is so attention-demanding.
Forums give people time to think and come back later to ask questions or add to discussions.

Welcome to the Theory Underground.
Theory Underground aims to make challenging philosophical and theoretical work accessible, not by summarizing, but by aiding those who seek to engage in this work as a way of life.
