The Debate on Classes by Val Burris
An attempt to resolve long-standing problems in contemporary class theory. The text brings together major critics of the author's work, and Wright's own responses and reformulation in the light of the criticisms.
Praise for Classes: "The most impressive book on class I have read in some years" - Michael Mann, Contemporary Sociology "An empirically supported reformulation of class theory that achieves exemplary standards of critique, complexity and clarity." - Claus Offe "Erik Olin Wright's Classes is almost certain to be the most important book on social classes this decade ... the book presents a major breakthrough in the conceptualization of class relations ... and it will be required reading for all macro-sociologists." - American Journal of Sociology
Erik Olin Wright (1947-2019) was Vilas Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin and former president of the American Sociological Association. He authored many books, including Classes, Interrogating Inequality, Class Counts, Deepening Democracy (with Archon Fung), and Envisioning Real Utopias
