The revised edition of this popular book explains why it is so important to understand class and stratification, and how the tools used to analyse these divisions can help us to understand and confront problems of inequality. This third edition of "Class and Stratification" has been extensively revised, expanded and updated, incorporating discussions of contemporary economic and social change. It includes discussions of political and economic neoliberalism and its impacts as well as developments in social theory, such as the emphasis on 'individualization' and the 'cultural turn'. New to this edition is a chapter focusing on 'cultural' approaches to class analysis, which together with established approaches are used to explore new developments in social mobility, educational opportunity, and social polarization. The book will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students in the social sciences seeking to understand the changing face of social inequality. By highlighting the damage increasing inequality is causing to the social fabric, the book reveals the important part class continues to play in our lives today.Hide synopsis

' Work, Employment and Society This book provides an outstandingly clear and comprehensive review of the different theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of social class and stratification which have been developed since the Second World War. These include quantitative approaches such as can be found in the work of Goldthorpe and Wright, as well as the investigation of class processes within history, politics and sociology. Significant issues, including consumption, the growth of the middle classes, gender, citizenship and the 'underclass' are subsequently explored in the volume. It has been asserted increasingly that key concepts in the field of stratification-notably 'class'-are no longer relevant to the analysis of late twentieth-century societies. Such arguments are critically examined. The author contends that the exploration of structured social inequality remains a key topic within sociology, and that what is required is a better understanding of existing concepts, rather than their rejection. Although many of the debates in the area of class and stratification have in recent years become increasingly difficult, a major aim of this text is to provide an accessible introduction to this complex topic for undergraduate students. Class and Stratification will be widely welcomed by students of sociology, politics and modern history. Rosemary Crompton is Professor of Sociology at the University of Leicester. 231 pages.
