Industrialization and the development of social classes has naturally led to another system that must be placed in the same category as racism and sexism: classism. What is classism?

Classism is a banker purchasing a new Mercedes-Benz and driving his car off of the show floor and past a mother wondering how shell make enough money to pay her rent and feed her children"
