Equality -- Social classes

Indeks : p.243-254 ; p.218-242 ; This book is to review and assess the major conceptions of social inequality found in classical and contemporary sociological theory. It will be of use to two somewhat different audiences: to students at various levels who can see the value in concise assessments of how leading theorists have dealt with the key conceptual problems in the field of inequality. The author placed considerable emphasis on outlining and clarifying the ideas of Marx and Weber, whose works still provide the classical core for theoretical debates in the study of social inequality.This critical response marked the start of the subsequent movement back toward Marx and Weber and the renewed interest in debating and reworking the ideas of these two central figures.
