"Class" aims to demonstrate the key importance of the concept of
class in sociology. It traces the development of the concept of
class from the classic works of Marx and Weber to the recent
contributions of the neo-Marxist Wright and the neo-Weberian
Goldthorpe, and describes the class structures of contemporary
Britain and the USA. The book surveys the relevant literature;
examines how to operationalize the concept; analyzes class and
social mobility, inequality and politics in Britain and the USA;
considers the idea of a classless society; proposes that there is
an emergent convergence in Marxist and Weberian approaches;
provides a critique of these perspectives; assesses the thesis of
American exceptionalism; and reviews recent empirical research on
the class system in the US. Wide-ranging, concise and
user-friendly, the text should be of use to students in sociology
and politics from higher school to undergraduate levels.
