Description
Durable Inequality by Charles Tilly is a work of considerable theoretical scope and imagination that solidifies his reputation as one of the world's most creative social scientists. This book provides a compelling rereading of familiar issues and an inspiring vision for future research.
Through its original framework, Durable Inequality reveals and thoroughly explains the similar social processes that create different forms of social inequality. The insights in this book offer the opportunity to revitalize the study of social stratification with a version of organizational theory, reconnecting it to political sociology.
A highly sophisticated yet accessible reconstruction of a core sociological problem, Durable Inequality is a major challenge to contemporary individualistic interpretations of persistent economic inequality. Written by Charles Tilly and published in 1998, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in social science and inequality.
