Description
Class and Stratification by Rosemary Crompton is a comprehensive analysis of inequality in modern society. This revised edition explores why understanding class and stratification is crucial for addressing problems of inequality, and how tools used to analyse these divisions can help us understand and confront them. The book has been extensively revised to incorporate discussions of contemporary economic and social change, including the impacts of neoliberalism and developments in social theory such as individualization and the cultural turn. New chapters provide a nuanced exploration of class analysis through 'cultural' approaches, alongside established methods, examining topics like social mobility, educational opportunity, and social polarization. By shedding light on the damage increasing inequality causes to society, this book highlights the ongoing significance of class in our lives today, making it an essential resource for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students seeking to understand the changing face of social inequality.
