"This much revised edition is a tour de force. The clarity and elegance of this book should make sociologists proud of their discipline. Students and teachers should rapidly upgrade from the first edition: this is a new and even better book." -- Ray Pahl, University of Essex "The first edition of this book was deservedly very successful. This second edition is even stronger. Really up-to-date materials are firmly incorporated with a clear and persuasive analysis of a plurality of conceptual frameworks and methodologies. Its nonsectarianism as well as its sheer intellectual grace makes it the best text on class and stratification we have." -- Colin Bell, University of Edinburgh "The first edition of this book has established itself as the outstanding survey of the field. This second edition will do likewise; it is thoroughly rewritten and updated and offers the most considered and balanced survey of a controversial area. Anyone wanting to know about the contemporary debates on class and stratification will need to read this magnificent book." -- Mike Savage, University of Manchester
The second edition of this successful book has been extensively revised and updated. It now incorporates the considerable range of further contributions to debates in class and stratification which have emerged since the first edition of this book was published in 1993. While many of these have asserted that 'class is dead', Crompton argues that class is very much alive. Thus 'postmodern' theories of 'post-class' societies are critically examined, as are the most recent contributions of quantitative sociological approaches such as those of Goldthorpe and Wright. It is argued that despite their theoretical differences, the work of these two authors has been undergoing a process of convergence in recent years.One feature which belies the 'death' of class is the contemporary increase in the extent of social and material inequality. This topic, therefore, is explored at some length, as are other areas including gender and the feminization of the middle classes, the significance of recent changes in work and employment, consumption and citizenship.
