The economic crisis that began in Lebanon in 2019 has reshaped society in many ways, shifting people up and down the socio-economic strata. While many families in Lebanon have become dependent on relatives sending remittances from abroad, others have not, redefining the concept of the the working class, the middle class, financial comfort, and privilege. Join Michelle Eid and Nizar Hasan in this episode on crisis, class, and ideology in Lebanon, where they discuss how the economic crisis affects ideology in different communities, bringing rise to some far-right groups such as Jnoud Al Rab. They also talk about how the crisis has pushed people to seek private solutions for public problems, creating alternative systems of support.
