Beskrivelse

It is not accidental that questions of class structure and class consciousness have recently become central concerns of both academic social scientists and Marxists: contemporary reality has promptly disposed of the various announcements of the obsolescence of class conflict made by the former while contemporary turmoil has fractured most shibboleths invoked by the latter. Thus, it may be useful to examine Giddens' recent study which does claim to break new ground. This ambitious book attempts to critically appraise liberal, Marxist and “post-industrial” theories of class, and to make some positive contributions. It contains interesting insights into the differences between some of the “advanced societies,” as well as abundant material contrasting various theories.
