2 very old sociological studies: J. W. B. Douglas - "The Home and the School" (1964). Paul Willis - "Learning to Labour" (1976?).

@PhilosophyExp What about the classic - Das Kapital? I'm pretty ignorant about all this but I've heard non-crazies say it's ok! I liked it..
@NotungSchwert Oddly enough, one of the problems of a Marxist approach is that it reduces all problems of inequality to a class analysis.

@PhilosophyExp But perhaps I'm forgetting. I think Jonathan Wolff prefers 'Capitalism-critic Marx' to 'Revolutionary-prophet Marx'. -
@NotungSchwert Well, Capital is a work of political economy. But class is fundamental to understanding capitalism. -
@PhilosophyExp I'm referring to surplus value, surplus labour (exploitation) etc, which perhaps stands apart from a particular view on class

@PhilosophyExp But iirc class didn't come up *that* much in DK - it was more a part of his quasi-Hegelian philosophy of history, etc -
@NotungSchwert@PhilosophyExp Class was/is a big problem in the UK. I'd be curious to know from Jeremy about modern UK
