Class Counts combines theoretical discussions of the concept of
class with a wide range of comparative empirical investigations of
class and its ramifications in developed capitalist societies. What
unites the topics is not a preoccupation with a common object of
explanation, but rather a common explanatory factor: class. Four
broad themes are explored: class structure and its transformations;
the permeability of class boundaries; class and gender; class
consciousness. The specific empirical studies include such diverse
topics as the sexual division of labour in housework, gender
differences in managerial authority, friendship networks in the
class structure, the expansion of self-employment in the United
States in the past two decades, and the class consciousness of
state and private-sector employees. The results of these studies
are then evaluated in terms of how they confirm certain
expectations within the Marxist tradition of class analysis and how
they pose challenging surprises.
