Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This succinct introductory text argues that class remains a key concept in sociology. The author examines the classic contributions of Marx and Weber and the recent works of Wright and Goldthorpe.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [123]-140) and indexes.
