    Michèle Lamont, The Dignity of Working Men: Morality and the Boundaries of Race, Class, and
    Immigration (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2000), 19–20. Andrew Cherlin argues that working-
    class guys now embrace self-actualization rather than self-discipline (Andrew Cherlin and Timothy Nelson,
    “The Would-Be Working Class Today,” in Labor’s Love Lost: The Rise and Fall of the Working-Class Family
    in America , ed. Andrew Cherlin [New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 2014]). No doubt some do. As hard living
    has claimed a larger percentage of the white working class, more working-class whites may well eschew the
    self-discipline ideal documented by Michèle Lamont and many others. Yet I remain convinced that its
    aspirational hold remains strong for settled working-class families.
