Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This text examines the structure of stratification in the United States, focusing on the way one's class location influences his or her life opportunities. Beeghley uses three themes to illustrate social stratification: How power influences the distribution of resources in the United States; how social structure influences rates of events; and how social psychological factors influence how individuals act on, and react to, the situations in which they find themselves.

5 out of 5 stars

great book January 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I always ask my Professors if I can used a later edition textbook first before purchasing my textbooks, because it will save you a bundle of money. As an example: The 5th edition of Structure of Social Stratification has a used purchase price of 76.00, while the 4th edition of Structure of Social Stratification has a used purchase price of 0.41. Generally, if both editions are close together rarely is there much difference in the content of the books. ****The cardinal rule is to always ask your Professors first before purchasing an older edition of a textbook because it shows common sense and courtesy towards the Professor. This is a very interesting book to read and it explains the inequality of the classes in regards to advantages in the United States.

Unbiased prospective at its best... July 29, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book fairly cut and dry, which is exactly what I like in sociology textbooks. Beeghley takes an unbiased view on social stratification and inequalities in contemporary society. He uses cross national and longitudinal data to effectively emphasize his points, which are valid and thought provoking. The book is well written and worth enough to keep on my bookshelf. Do you happen to be taking Beeghleys class? Do yourself the favor and buy this book!
