5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, January 14, 2001

This review is from: Power and Privilege: A Theory of Social Stratification (Paperback)
Very well written and researched. This book offers a great look at the manner in which stratification develops in societies, and not just in capitalist societies. Lenski starts with the hunter-gatherer societies and builds up to the complex structures that we have today. Necessary reading for anyone who wants to be informed on the subject.
