Morrison J (2022) Forget culture wars: It's the economics, stupid!. blogs.lse.ac.uk [blogs.lse.ac.uk] 04.11.2022. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/who-are-the-left-behind-forget-culture-wars-its-the-economics-stupid/
Abstract
Residents of left-behind areas are often portrayed as part of a working class that views multiculturalism and liberal social attitudes as ¡®alien and threatening¡¯. However, in his research, James Morrison found that it was the economistic (underinvestment in schools, housing, the NHS, public transport, and jobs), rather than culturalist, diagnosis of ¡®left-behind¡¯ discontent that shaped the narrative adopted by newspapers and politicians.
