Of all the concepts used by sociologists for describing and explaining social relationships, social class is probably the most ambiguous, confusing and ill-defined. This is despite the fact that the development of sociology as an academic discipline has been intimately connected with class related issues. In this book Richard Scase offers a highly accessible introduction to the analysis of social class. Against a background of the failure of Soviet and East European state socialism he highlights the enduring importance of social class in Western capitalist society, which is characterized by relations of exploitation. He concludes that whilst Marxist categories continue to be invaluable, Marx’s ideas for abolishing class must, towards the end of the twentieth century, be seen to be utopian.

Richard Scase is Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent at Canterbury. He has authored, co-authored and edited fourteen books including, most recently (with R. Goffee) Reluctant Managers (1989), and edited (with P. Brown) Poor Work: Disadvantage and the Division of Labour (1991). He is currently researching the social relations of ‘professional’ organizations as well as comparing developments in the different countries of former Eastern Europe.
