White-Collar Proletariat (1980) explores the major changes in the industrial and political behaviour of British civil servants in the 1970s. It looks at their turn to militancy and asks whether it can be explained by reference to the sociological concept of proletarianization, a concept defined with particular reference to Marx and neo-Marxist writers. Attention is focused on a number of variables which sociologists have regarded as critical, those of level and source of income, social origins and the organization of work.

This 1978 study examines the new working class of scientists, white collar professionals, and technicians that has emerged in advanced in industrial societies and considers its role in the political process. Professor Low-Beer examines the lives of a sample group of Italian electronics technicians, as theirs had been the most militant profession in Italy. Although Low-Beer warns against quick conclusions regarding the broader political significance of such desires, vivid quotations from interviews illustrate the principal longing indicated by his statistical analyses: for more control over work situation. Whilst describing the lifestyles and class imagery among the technicians, the author compares them to other groups, and concludes that strike participation is to be explained by the political backgrounds of workers, and only secondarily by organizational factors. Professor Low-Beer also analyses the significance of the increase that had occurred in the number of professionals in technical professions for the future of politics and industrial conflict.
