Description: "In this introductory text, Ken Roberts argues that Britain is far from becoming a classless society. He demonstrates that class still permeates virtually every part of its inhabitants lives, though there are important and fascinating changes occurring to the size, character and composition of all the main classes.".

"This text highlights the continuing relevances and value of class for sociological study and analysis. It reveals that class origins remain as important as ever as determinants of life-chances, and that politics in Britain is not being separated from, but reflects faithfully, the shifting balance of power between the main classes. As such it will be core reading for all students of sociology and related social sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
