Class Structure in Europe: New Findings from East-West Comparisons of Social Structure and Mobility

by Max Haller

Overview

Is there a typical European class structure? Have power patterns left any imprint in the European societies of today? Has the experience of socialist revolution in Eastern Europe created a distinctive social-structural pattern in that part of the continent? These are only a few of the questions taken up by the contributors to this collection of case studies and comparative research.
