Recensione:

′Rosemary Crompton′s book is by far the best existing guide to the present state of class analysis, remarkably well informed about the details of the most important current controversies.′ Work, Employment and Society

′A comprehensive and compelling account of central debates on class and stratification. It is a brave and successful attempt to make accessible the many debates which are conducted under the banner of social class.′ Times Higher Education Supplement

′A timely review of sociology′s contribution to the explanation of social inequality. This book does an excellent job of setting out for students the central features of class analysis and its contribution to the study of inequality covering where it has been, where it is now, and where it might be going. It does so in an engaging manner and with a concern to recover a sense of meaning and purpose for both the insiders and outsiders of stratification analysis. It is bound to become a basic test for teaching in this area.′ Sociology

′Lucid and accessible.′ Capital and Class
