The Moral Significance of Class, first published in 2005, analyses
the moral aspects of people's experience of class inequalities.
Class affects not only our material wealth but our access to
things, relationships, and practices which we have reason to value,
including the esteem or respect of others and hence our sense of
self-worth. It shapes the kind of people we become and our chances
of living a fulfilling life. Yet contemporary culture is
increasingly 'in denial' about class, finding it embarrassing to
acknowledge, even though it can often be blatantly obvious. By
drawing upon concepts from moral philosophy and social theory and
applying them to empirical studies of class, this fascinating and
accessible study shows how people are valued in a context in which
their life-chances and achievements are objectively affected by the
lottery of birth class, and by forces which have little to do with
their moral qualities or other merits.
