Document Summary

This answer is worth 50/100 points, so allow about 50 minutes to write this answer: two of your required readings (brubaker and weber) discuss class and status groups. Compare and contrast to weber"s discussion of class and status groups. See also relevant lecture materials on classes or occupations as status groups. Bourdieu was influenced by weber"s ideas, multiple theories were developed by him that were rooted in weber"s theories for example. For weber, class is based on the resources one brings to the marketplace, resources that shape one"s chances of doing well in that particular job. Weber emphasizes the importance of ownership and how differences in skills differentiate owners from non-owners (non-owners can only sell their labour power). Classes consist of people who have similar kinds of market resources, and skills.
