Abstract:
"With the most recent data on income, wealth, earnings, residential segregation by income, and other topics, The American Class Structure describes a consistent pattern of growing inequality in the United States since the early 1970s. It focuses on the socioeconomic core of the class system., emphasizing the effects of class differences on our everyday lives. Gender and race are treated in relation to class, rather than as parallel dimensions of stratification"--
