Additional text

’Dr Brennan’s book makes a very substantial contribution to the continuing debate on the appropriate ways to think about class and about other manifestations of social inequality...an old theme, but the depth and rigour with which Dr. Brennan confronts it impart to it new significance.’ Gianfranco Poggi, European University Institute, Italy ’...one of the very best recent studies of Max Weber...wonderful critical theorising...a tour de force based upon sophisticated and sensitive scholarship and one which deserves wide international recognition.’ New Zealand Sociology Journal
