| Summary: | For almost half a century, both in the United States and in France, numerous sociologists have sought to refute or to reject the notion of social class. The conclusion invariably drawn has been that "class differences are losing their pertinence". Such conclusions, based on premises formerly correct, in terms of the trends then in evidence, today prove to be increasingly ill-founded.

These judgements are in fact extremely dangerous, when used as the basis for inferences concerning future trends. What is to be expected is rather a renewed awareness of class differences. |
