Social Stratification
Abstract
Changing once more our lenses, we see societies, great and small, stratified like Neapolitan ices into bands of prestige. Such stratification may be based upon a variety of interpenetrating principles: free and unfree; caste, estate, or clan; occupation; administrative hierarchy; or income level, as we have seen in the last chapter.
