Description

This volume provides a comparison of class frameworks (Marxist, sociological and official) that can be applied to empirical data about inequality and conflict in contemporary Britain. It draws upon an extensive national survey and is part of a project on social class and class consciousness. Alongside the British research, similar studies being undertaken in North America, Europe and Australia will provide a set of comparable analyses. The book addresses the key concepts of gender and class. Other important topics include sectionalism among the workforce, privatism of families and individuals, fatalism, sectoral production and consumption cleavages.
