Deep Inequality
Forbes reports that the richest 1 percent of the world’s population owns nearly half the world’s wealth, and the gap between the richest and poorest of the world only continues to increase. Deep Inequality looks behind these stark statistics to understand not only wealth inequality but also rising disparities in other elements of life—from education to the media. The authors argue that inequality has become so pervasive that it is the new normal.…
Organizations, Resources, and Class Analysis
This article presents selected features of a theoretical schema we term the distributional model of class analysis which views large organizations, organizationally-based resources, and distributional processes as central to the US class structure. We first review what we term production models of class analysis and illustrate how some features of these models may be linked to insights from studies of class involving large organizations and distr…

Family Friendly Workplace Benefits
This article utilizes an eclectic, two dimensional political-economy perspective linking class power and organizational factors as the basis for analyzing variations in family friendly benefits provided to workers by U.S. employers and by state policies in six industrialized nations. An Organizational-Class Power approach is used to develop four hypotheses concerning benefit variations as influenced by the intersection of class power and organiza…

The New Class Society
This provocative book refocuses our attention on class interests that are rapidly polarizing American society. It redefines the terms of class analysis by arguing that the distribution of resources critical to class membership is shaped by large organizational structures and processes located in the economic, political, and cultural arenas. The authors show why, in the 21st century, class membership will be based on access to a new mix of critica…
Family Friendly Workplace Benefits
The general purpose of the paper is to expand our understanding of how and why employer-provided benefits and resources that support the obligations and commitments of workers to their families are more or less available in the workplace. The specific objectives of this paper are threefold. First, it considers the limitations of a public policy approach to family benefits in the workplace through a brief review of the background and impact of the…
A Decade of Dare
A micro I macro conceptual framework is used to explore the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program in terms of long-term effectiveness, as a political force and the links between these two dimensions. At the micro-level, questionnaire data comparing fifth-grade DARE-exposed high school seniors with non-exposed seniors revealed no substantial differences in drug use between the two groups. Focus group interviews with contrasting senior gro…
Truth and Dare
This article utilizes a multi-dimensional impact and process evaluation framework to explore the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program in terms of long-term effects, political potency, and implementation issues. The impact dimension compares questionnaire data from 288 high school seniors exposed to DARE as seventh graders with 335 non-exposed seniors. No significant differences in drug use behaviors or attitudes were found between the t…

Professional Societies, Interorganizational Linkages and Occupational Health Policy Reform
This article explores the influence of interorganizational linkages upon the policy decisions of professional societies concerning proposed federal occupational health legislation. The specific focus is on the policies of seven associations of health and safety professionals regarding the proposed “High Risk Act” of 1985-88. In contrast to new class theories viewing professionals as generally supportive of reform policies, in the theoretical pers…
Evaluating Dare
Background and previous impact evaluations of "DARE" (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) are described along with an assessment of its im- plementation among fifth graders in Kokomo, Indiana. Building upon alter- native efforts, a multifaceted impact/process evaluation framework is developed; it is used to consider the multiple meanings of DARE'S "success" within the dimensions of program efficacy, the impact of micro and macro contexts upon its pa…
