| Abstract: | Aage Sorensen aims to develop a structural theory of inequality that is equal in format and comprehensiveness to Marx's theory of class yet avoids the flaws of that theory, which derive from its grounding in the premises of classical economics. Applying neo-utilitarian theory to class analysis, Sorensen argues that access to enduring rents can inform a new conceptualization of "class as exploitation" and thereby put the sociological enterprise of class analysis on a sounder basis. |
