The Moral Economy of Class: Class and Attitudes in Comparative Perspective, by Stefan Svallfors. Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2006. Cloth ISBN 0804752850. $45.00. Pp. xvii, 226.
Are social attitudes affected by a person's class? Stefan Svallfors investigated several dimensions of this question using survey research based primarily on the International Social Survey Program (www.issp.org). The ISSP data he relied on for comparisons was for 1992 and 1999 from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden. He also used some data for Sweden by itself. Although Svallfors conducts a very careful investigation and analyzes all the important theoretical and empirical complexities, the simple answer he found to the question is "yes." Class does affect attitudes. Furthermore, the affected attitudes change over time and vary from country to country. Class is not dead. It is still a vital force in determining opinions and normative beliefs about a wide range of social issues over space and time.
