Summary Of "The Historical Need Of Social Inequality" By Wilbert Moore & Kingsley Davis - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author. THE HISTORICAL NEED OF SOCIAL INEQUALITYSome Basics of StratificationThe authors start from the proposition that there is no society WITHOUT CLASSES or NOT STRATIFIED. They propose to argue that STRATIFICATION is a universal necessity of every social system. They also argue that prestige is evenly distributed among the main types of positions.
The authors propose two lines of analysis: one, directed to the UNIVERSAL and the other, to the PARTICULAR. Thus, they seek to understand the concrete manifestations in different societies, although they emphasize the universal (that is, what is repeated in all societies).
