This book reinterprets the British class structure and its
evolution from the mid-nineteenth century until the 1980s. It
provides a detailed empirical study of the growth of trade unions,
and development of earnings differentials and patterns of class
inter-marriage during this period, and uses this material to
reassess theoretical questions of class consciousness, the notion
of the 'traditional working class', and the ideas of a 'labour
aristocracy'. A particular feature is that this book is part of the
development of a mode of sociological analysis intended to be
compatible with economic theory. Its primary focus is on the
relationship between skilled and non-skilled manual workers. This
1984 suggests that an internal division of the manual working class
on the basis of skill has been a persistent feature of economic
relations since the late nineteenth century. It goes on to show,
however, by the extensive analysis of inter marriage, that this
economic division has not been translated into equivalent social
boundaries.
