About this title

Synopsis

What is the relation between social class and social justice? This is currently a matter of public as well as academic interest. In this compelling new study the authors bring together recent developments in normative thinking about social justice with new empirical findings about educational attainment and social mobility. The result is a path-breaking contribution to the study of class and justice, one that will be of interest to sociologists and political theorists for years to come.
