Reviews
From the perspective of policy choices, the book does a respectable job with ideas of redistribution, both for and against. It is easy to recommend for a classroom audience and useful for discussions on inequality, especially where those discussions cross into policy responses, and even a discussion of government's role, if it has a role at all, in addressing such issues. -- Public Organization Review, "Carl Bankston's Key Concepts and Contemporary Approaches to Structural Inequality gives a succinct overview of the sociology of stratification and of related moral debates. I would recommend the book to anyone wanting to learn more about the subject matter, and it would make an excellent addition to any stratification course." --Bradley Campbell, Professor of Sociology, California State University, Los Angeles, USA., "Bankston offers a novel approach to understanding stratification by taking the reader through a journey in the evolution of social thought. Each chapter demonstrates how rules of society are altered as we move from hunter-gatherer societies all the way to a post-industrial society." -- John C. Kilburn, Jr., Texas A&M international University, USA.

Finally, the book examines sources of social inequality and discusses political consequences of stratification and different policy responses.
