Class Formation, Civil Society and the State: A Comparative Analysis of Russia, France, UK and the Us

By Michael Burrage

Rather than a ranking system based on occupational prestige, this book explains social stratification through political events and decisions. Using analyses of Russia, France, the United States and England, Burrage claims that class stems from the habitual relationship between state and civil society and, remarkably, is undermined by free markets.
