Rather than using a ranking system based on occupational prestige
to explain social stratification through class, Burrage attempts to
show how class formation can be explained through political events
and decisions. Using detailed analysis of four countries, the book
attempts to answer several 'mysteries' of the English class system:
why did an English "intelligentsia "fail to emerge? Why was the
working class reluctant to engage in violent class struggle? Why
did public ownership increase class consciousness, and why could
class sentiment be combined with comparatively high rates of
mobility? In this distinctive and important contribution, Burrage
identifies the main features of England's emerging 'classless
society' - one that is centralized, intensively managed, and no
longer resting on internalized social controls.
