About this title

Review:

In the current edition, the original analyses are left largely intact, but a supplementary section on 'issues of the present day' has now been appended to the end....This section includes chapters on the class mobility of women, the cross-national contours of mobility, and the structure of recent trends in the British stratification system. These chapters are no disappointment; they are as brilliantly argued as the original ones. (American Journal of Sociology)
