=1-1>   by Colin Crouch, Looks very interesting - I just put it on
order.  From Amazon's book description:

Crouch argues that the decline of those social classes which had made
possible an active and critical mass politics has combined with the rise
of global capitalism to produce a self-referential political class more
concerned with forging links with wealthy business interests than with
pursuing political programmes which meet the concerns of ordinary
people.

Colin Crouch is Chairman of the Department of Social and Political
Sciences and Professor of Sociology at the European University
Institute.
