It is said its relevance is limited to explaining individuals' economic conditions and opportunities, while at the same time argued that it is a structural feature of macro-power relations. In \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Class\u003c\/i\u003e, leading left sociologist Erik Olin Wright interrogates the divergent meanings of this fundamental concept in order to develop a more integrated framework of class analysis. Beginning with the treatment of class in Marx and Weber, proceeding through the writings of Charles Tilly, Thomas Piketty, Guy Standing, and others, and finally examining how class struggle and class compromise play out in contemporary society, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Class\u003c\/i\u003e provides a compelling view of how to think about the complexity of class in the world today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErik Olin Wright\u003c\/b\u003e is Vilas Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin.
