- Title
Class in America: Qualitative Distinctions and Quantitative Data.
- Authors
Goertzel, Ted G.
- Abstract
Recognizing the need for an objective basis for choosing political strategies within the context of the debates concerning the intermediary strate in modern capitalistic societies, this article examines both qualitative theoretical distinction and quantitative data as a means to clarify the issues and to defend alternative positions. Noting that the question of class is essentially qualitative, but that attempts to delineate classes in societies are based on quantitative dimensions (i.e. numbers of people in each class, political attitudes, etc.) the article seeks to test qualitative definitions of class in terms of these qualitative dimensions.
