Originally published in 1975, this anthology of essays focusses on
the historical dimension of class inequality which has long
concerned both sociologists and social philosophers but has often
been neglected in literature. Although Marx is the first name to
come to mind when social inequality and class struggles are
mentioned, most of the authors included here precede him. Each
analyses and discusses the problems of class conflict as they
understood them in the light of their own times. Taken together
these writers treat stratification as essentially a pecking order
where position is determined by relative power – a notion which
subsumes rather than contradicts the economic interpretation of
social inequality because wealth is a form of power. The relation
between the views of these authors and the well-known theory of
Marx is discussed in the Introduction.
