The Classless Society

by Paul W. Kingston

Book Overview

Are there classes in America? In The Classless Society Paul Kingston forcefully answers no.

This book directly challenges a long-standing intellectual tradition of class analysis, recently revitalized by such prominent scholars as Erik Olin Wright and John Goldthorpe. Insisting on a realist conception of class, Kingston argues that presumed "classes" do not significantly share distinct, life-defining experiences.
