Description
Understanding Class by Erik Olin Wright The concept of class is one of the most contested ideas in contemporary sociology. Some argue that it has lost its relevance, while others see it as essential to understanding capitalism. In this book, leading left sociologist Erik Olin Wright examines the different meanings of class and how they can be integrated into a more comprehensive framework. Wright explores the treatment of class in the works of Marx, Weber, Tilly, Piketty, Standing, and other prominent thinkers. He then applies these insights to contemporary society, examining how class struggle and compromise play out in the world today. By bringing together diverse perspectives on class, Wright provides a nuanced understanding of this complex concept. This book offers a compelling view of how to think about class in the modern world, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in sociology, politics, or economics.
