Abstract

The Greek middle class, once a vibrant and influential social force, has undergone significant transformations over the decades. This chapter delves into the historical roots of the middle class, tracing its evolution from the post-war era to the present day. It explores the cultural practices and social dynamics that have defined the middle class, highlighting its role in shaping Greek society. The text also examines the political and economic factors that have impacted the middle class, including the role of state intervention and the influence of globalisation. Additionally, it discusses the current state of the middle class, its challenges, and its potential future trajectories. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of the middle class's experiences for understanding Greek society and democracy.
