Social Imbalance – observing our current situation while comprehending our past. Social Inequality and Social Stratification in US Society, 1st edition employs a historical and conceptual framework to elucidate social hierarchy and social imbalance. The historical perspective provides a backdrop for each discussed issue and enables the reader to grasp the evolution of each subject throughout American history. The authors utilize qualitative data to elucidate socioeconomic problems and establish connections among related subjects. Each section delves into fundamental ideas, allowing readers to recognize how an individual’s achievement in stratified environments frequently depends heavily on their access to valuable resources – various forms of capital encompassing finances, education, social connections, and cultural proficiency. Scrutinizing the influence of different types of capital throughout the text aids in outlining the opportunities for individuals, households, and social groups to uphold or transform their standing within social-stratification frameworks.
