Sayer formulates an account of class that explores more than just the pursuit of prestige and social status. It suggests that people are also motivated by such ethical concerns as living a good life, acting morally, and responding appropriately to the actions of others. The first half of the book is theoretical and examines the writings of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and the second half examines the nature and content of ethical responses to class differences. Although it has certain weaknesses, the book is a valuable contribution to the literature on ethical responses to class differences. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
