The questions raised by a study of class and inequality are
important, but often complex. This book succeeds in making them
understandable without oversimplifying, and its breadth,
originality, and easy style will appeal to a wide readership. Peter
Saunders covers theories of social class as well as evidence on
class inequalities in the contemporary period. He analyses why
class inequalities exist, whether they are inevitable, whether they
are unjust, and how they are changing. The analysis is
comprehensive and up-to-date and includes information on how the
distribution of wealth and income and social mobility chances have
been changing during the Thatcher years. It also explores how the
class structure is being affected by developments such as the
spread of privatization and individual shareholdings, the rise of
the 'yuppies', and the emergence of an underclass. On the
theoretical side Professor Saunders gives equal weight to marxist,
social-democratic, and neo-liberal perspectives on class and
inequality, and writers as diverse a Karl Marx, John Rawls, and
Friedrich Hayek all receive serious and balanced consideration.
