The Moral Economy of Class - Class and Attitudes in Comparative Perspective (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)

"Svallfors shows not only that class matters to social attitudes, but also that national institutions shape class differences in social attitudes, sometimes in unexpected ways. His analysis is carefully crafted and his interpretation of the results is remarkably judicious. This wide-ranging book is truly a tour de force and deserves to be read by all social scientists interested in comparative analysis of advanced industrial societies."--Jonas Pontusson, Princeton University
"In this excellent overview of how social classes differ in their social attitudes, Svallfors shows that less inequality in conditions often goes
together with large differences in attitudes among classes. His discussion and explanation of this paradoxical condition should interest social scientists, students, and the interested public."--Robert Erikson, Swedish Institute for Social Research, Stockholm University
