Opis

What is the relation between social class and social justice? This is currently a matter of public as well as academic interest. In this compelling new study the authors bring together recent developments in normative thinking about social justice with new empirical findings about educational attainment and social mobility. The result is a path-breaking contribution to the study of class and justice, one that will be of interest to sociologists and political theorists for years to come.

Recenzje

The authors provide clear definitions of their central concepts and construct their arguments in detailed, systematic fashion. Their study would be especially useful for graduate students examining stratification processes and status attainment researchers attempting to enrich their models. C.E. Hurst.
