"If a meaningful intellectual current does emerge from the wreckage of contemporary capitalism, it may well begin from the demystification of PMC liberal mores."-- Conter " Virtue Hoarders argues that the professional-managerial class-working class alliance was doomed from the start for the simple reason that the two classes' interests are fundamentally opposed."-- The Washington Examiner " Virtue Hoarders amplifies a discussion that still needs to be had."-- Spiked "Lui's argument is thorough, well researched, and saturated with supporting evidence."-- Rhizomes "A quick, fun read, polemicising against views which are currently dominant in the US academic left and mainstream media, and characterising these views as expressing the interests of the 'professional managerial class' - or 'PMC' - as opposed to those of the working class."-- Weekly Worker "Delicious."-- Current Affairs "Like all good polemics [ Virtue Hoarders ] is a romp: lively, fun to read."-- Jeff Noonan "Thoroughly enjoyable."-- Damage Magazine, " Virtue Hoarders amplifies a discussion that still needs to be had."-- Spiked " Virtue Hoarders: The Case Against the Professional Managerial Class , argues that the professional-managerial class-working class alliance was doomed from the start for the simple reason that the two classes' interests are fundamentally opposed.

Synopsis
A denunciation of the credentialed elite class that serves capitalism while insisting on its own progressive heroism Professional Managerial Class (PMC) elite workers labor in a world of performative identity and virtue signaling, publicizing an ability to do ordinary things in fundamentally superior ways. Author Catherine Liu shows how the PMC stands in the way of social justice and economic redistribution by promoting meritocracy, philanthropy, and other self-serving operations to abet an individualist path to a better world. Virtue Hoarders is an unapologetically polemical call to reject making a virtue out of taste and consumption habits. Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.
