Description
This concise introduction to class in sociology examines the key concepts developed by Marx and Weber, as well as recent studies by Wright and Goldthorpe. The author provides an accessible overview of how class is operationalized, structured, and relates to social mobility, inequality, politics, and the concept of classlessness.
Students of sociology will find this book a useful review of these topics in both British and American contexts. By exploring the complexities of class, this text offers a clear understanding of its significance in modern society.
