Document Summary

Soc300 week 6 notes (week 5 was thesis workshop) When marx was looking at social class, and peoples relationship to the means of production. Marx was really looking at large corporations, big businesses. Was not talking about the microloans given to women, because no one will hier them he was referring to those who didn"t have to do any work. What is social inequality? is a product of the social conditions of your acces to, or lack of acess to resources. Pierre bourdieu: not about capital, its about your ability to access resources, through your resources, social and cultural capital, private schools social connections, social class. Were talking about your assests, your stocks, bonds, property: wealth is more than just your income, social and cultural capital. What he is talking about is how class is not everything, but it shapes your social and cultural capital, that then produces and shapes class. Refers to things that are not tangible.
