In this documentary compilation, we explore the concept of 'Prole Drift,' a term defined by Paul Fussel and expanded upon by notable academics. We delve into how behaviors, norms, and aesthetics originating from the working class trickle upwards into the middle and upper classes, driven primarily by economic necessity. This episode covers the causes of Prole Drift from an economic perspective, its varying manifestations across the globe, and some potential solutions to readjust economic incentives for a more moral and classy society. The documentary also includes archival footage and insightful discussions on the impact of economic trends on social behavior.
