ITEM OVERVIEW
An excellent beginners guide, from feudalism to today's "globalization"; and on how class and stratification works, not just in Britain but today in America, and India, and Africa... "[E]specially valuable in the way it identifies the new class of the rich, the celebrities and others who play 'a significant role in reconciling the poor to their status.' This book is timely, authoritative...excellent." —John Pilger
