Resumo

This article examines the American class structure, arguing for a six-class model based on occupational prestige, income, and interaction patterns. The authors challenge the traditional Marxist dichotomy of bourgeoisie and proletariat, proposing a more nuanced stratification system that includes the upper, upper-middle, lower-middle, upper-lower, and lower-lower classes, along with a separate category for the "level of living" class. They emphasize the importance of social mobility and the blurring lines between classes in American society, while also acknowledging the persistence of inequality and social distance.
