As we all think through the class tensions that have surfaced in Canada, it\u2019s a good time to take a closer look at an ethos held by many of those shaping the dialogue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This group of decision-makers and opinion shapers, which includes the media, is often referred to in leftist circles as the professional managerial class. Catherine Liu, professor of film and media studies at the University of California, Irvine, has recently published a book on the PMC, titled\u00a0Virtue Hoarders: The Case against the Professional Managerial Class<\/em>.
