پیش نمایش کتاب

Virtue Hoarders: The Case Against the Professional Managerial Class by Catherine Liu is a sharp, compact manifesto that dismantles the illusions of moral superiority held by today’s educated elites. Liu argues that the professional managerial class (PMC)—comprising academics, nonprofit leaders, and white-collar professionals—has become a dominant cultural force that preaches social justice rhetoric while defending neoliberal capitalism and protecting its own status.

Through biting analysis and historical context, Liu illustrates how the PMC replaces solidarity with self-congratulatory individualism and substitutes real change with symbolic gestures. From parenting styles to workplace activism, the PMC hoards “virtue” to obscure its complicity in widening inequality.

This book is a powerful call to recognize the contradictions within progressive politics and re-center the working class in conversations about justice and equity. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the hidden dynamics behind contemporary liberal culture.
