Review
"An important approach to social inequality."--M. M. Denny, "Choice
Product Description
Charles Tilly, in this eloquent manifesto, presents a powerful new approach to the study of persistent social inequality. How, he asks, do long-lasting, systematic inequalities in life chances arise, and how do they come to distinguish members of different socially defined categories of persons? Exploring representative paired and unequal categories, such as male/female, black/white, and citizen/noncitizen, Tilly argues that the basic causes of these and similar inequalities greatly resemble one another. In contrast to contemporary analyses that explain inequality case by case, this account is one of process. Categorical distinctions arise, Tilly says, because they offer a solution to pressing organizational problems. Whatever the "organization" is--as small as a household or as large as a government--the resulting relationship of inequality persists because parties on both sides of the categorical divide come to depend on that solution, despite its drawbacks. Tilly illustrates the social mechanisms that create and maintain paired and unequal categories with a rich variety of cases, mapping out fertile territories for future relational study of durable inequality.

An appealing alternative to explain social inequality based on categorical traits than the distribution of human capital. The problem next is that the mechanism through which those categorical differences are successfully maintained by organizations.
评分问就是reading
评分没想到读Tilly竟然读的第一本是这个…而且还是在社会流动课上…Tilly就是Tilly，写作的视野很不错，但强烈怀疑大佬们写作是不是写完不修改……强烈建议这边学习一下海明威站着写作…
评分失望。对再生产不平等的的行为的分类，是很有启发性的洞见。但是这整本书在此之外的部分，都是在以本体论上很可疑的方法去延伸这些洞见来阐释各种例子，令人失望。
