Catherine Liu

Catherine Liu’s polemic is a sharp one, attacking in no uncertain terms the foundations of class formation and class struggle in the current liberal spheres of influence in the United States. It speaks of the elite “Professional Managerial Class” – a new class of left-liberals from the white-collar class who suffer from a superiority complex over ordinary working people – that has created a world in which identities are simply “performed” and one’s morality is always considered the only correct one.

A resolute call not to make a virtue of taste and consumerism, and to stand up again for better living conditions for all.

Catherine Liu is a professor of film and media studies at the University of California, Irvine. Virtue Hoarders is the German version of her bestselling book Virtue Hoarders (2021).
