In search of a transnational capitalist class
Theorists of globalization have hypothesized the emergence of a transnational capitalist class that is becoming increasingly integrated across national borders. One method of evaluating this hypothesis has been to apply network analysis to study the frequency and pattern of transnational ties within global interlocking directorates. The results of such studies are mixed, both as regards the extent of transnational interlocking and its regional di…
Cross-Border Acquisitions and Board Globalization in The World's Largest TNCS, 1995-2005
Because of their size, power, and undemocratic nature, the cross-border activities of the world's transnational corporations (TNCs) are of particular interest to sociologists. Previous research shows that over the past decade the boards of directors of the world's largest TNCs have become more multinational, in other words are increasingly composed of individuals from different countries. During the same period there was also a dramatic increase …
Engels, Friedrich (1820–1895)
Without Karl Marx, of course, few people today would know the name of Friedrich Engels; but without Engels we might have heard much less from Karl Marx
Feuerbach, Ludwig (1804–1872)
Ludwig Feuerbach was born into a large, prominent, academic family in Landshut, Bavaria. His father was a distinguished professor of jurisprudence, and three of Ludwig's four brothers went on to noteworthy careers in mathematics, law, and archeology. But unwilling to heed his father's advice to steer clear of radical ideas, and unable to negotiate the repressive atmosphere of academic and political life in mid‐nineteenth century Germany, Feuerbac…
Board Interlocks and the Study of the Transnational Capitalist Class
In a recent synopsis of theories and findings on transnational corporate ties published in this journal, Nollert (2005) argues that while there may be good theoretical reasons to hypothesize the emergence of a Transnational Capitalist Class (tcc), to this point there is relatively little empirical evidence, aside from Sklair s (2001) work, to support the claim that such a class exists or is forming. However, a few researchers have attempted to ap…
A Theory of Global Capitalism
Remarx
In this paper I report on a recent attempt to teach about “class exploitation” in a social inequality course. My experience suggests that students welcome, somewhat warily and uncertainly, discussions of class exploitation and nonexploitive alternatives, are able to imagine nonexploitive alternatives to their current (or recent) employment, and in some extraordinary cases are ready to make such alternatives happen. These responses suggest that st…

Three Black Generations at the Crossroads
Three Generations at the Crossroads weaves a collective tapestry, linking personal biographies of individuals in different generations to the larger social forces acting on them. This second edition contains new chapters on politicians and artists, two groups that are symbolic of the new occupations that have emerged since the post-civil rights era. Benjamin also addresses the necessity for resiliency and survival within the black community to en…
A Living Wage
A Strike of Girls
Our intent is to investigate the nature of capitalist patriarchy by writing women workers back into the story of the Black Country Strike. Conventional accounts of this important conflict in the British midlands have depicted the outcome as a "victory for the workpeople," but such claims have failed to capture how gender hierarchies and cross-class allegiances produced this "victory." Specifically, we argue that unquestioned assumptions about the…

Conversion or Commitment? A Reassessment of the Snow and Machalek Approach to the Study of Conversion
Snow and Machalek (1983; 1984) have pointed to the importance of language in understanding the conversion process. In particular, they have identified four characteristic of the accounts converts give about their conversion experience. After a brief review of these indicators, and of the Snow and Machalek approach more generally, we offer a critique and an alternative interpretation of the part played by language in the conversion process, and by…
Competitors and Comrades
Social Class, Occupational Conditions, and Efficacy-Based Self-Esteem
This study examines the relationship between social stratification and self-esteem by focusing on aspects of stratification and self-esteem formation processes ignored in previous research. An analysis of theoretical developments and empirical research reveals that the exclusive focus on occupational status and self-esteem derived from interpersonal comparison processes ignores an entire dimension of the relationship between social stratification…
