Stephen Edgell demonstrates the importance of the concept of class in sociology by tracing the development of this concept from classic works by Marx and Weber to the more recent contributions of the neo-Marxist Wright and the neo-Weberian Goldthorpe, and by describing the class structures of contemporary Britain and America.In addition to surveying the relevant literature on the subject of class, Edgell explains how to operationalize this concept in his analysis of class and social mobility, inequality and politics in Britain and America, concluding with a discussion of the possibility of a classless society.
