In part one, the author carries out a critical and systematic examination, in the light of the revolutionary changes of recent decades, of the various basic ways of interpreting class structure which have recurred throughout the history of European social thought. Part two uses the results arrived at in part one in an attempt to draw up a more satisfactory typology of the main ways of interpreting the class structure in past and present societies, both capitalist and socialist. In his final chapter, the author discusses the relationship between types of interpretation of class structures and types of structures themselves. -- front fold over blurb . translated from the Polish by Sheila Patterson.
