Book Reviews of Power and Privilege: A Theory of Social Stratification

Book Review: A classic
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
