François Gresle, « La notion de classe moyenne indépendante. Un bilan des travaux », Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire, ID : 10.3406/xxs.1993.2640
The notion of an independent middle class. A survey of research, François Gresle. Unshakable and learned, the sociologists — followed by the historians ? — deny the middle classes their independent status. What if independence was not an empty word ? If it was necessary to look, far from the statistics, at internalized values and a certain appetite for the quality of life ? A monotonous bibliography reread.
