Inequality is one of the most discussed topics of our times. Yet,
we still do not know how to tackle the issue effectively. The book
argues that this is due to the lack of understanding the structures
responsible for the persistence of social inequality. It enquires
into the mechanisms that produce and reproduce invisible dividing
lines in society. Based on original case studies of Brazil,
Germany, India and Laos comprising thousands of interviews, the
authors argue that invisible classes emerge in capitalist
societies, both reproducing and transforming precapitalist
hierarchies. At the same time, locally particular forms of
inequality persist. Social inequality in the contemporary world has
to be understood as a specific combination of precapitalist
inequalities, capitalist transformation and a particular class
structure, which seems to emerge in all capitalist societies. The
book links the configurations to an interpretation of global
domination as well as to symbolic classification.
