Summary
This chapter develops our theory of working-class inclusion. The chapter is structured around the three central questions that we tackle in this book: (1) Do citizens – and particularly working-class citizens – want to be represented by members of the working class? (2) Will any worker do? Or, how do citizens evaluate workers who do not represent working-class policy interests? (3) How do voters know workers are in office? In answering these questions, we develop new expectations that we evaluate in the following chapters.
