    Section C: Social Inequality

    21 3 ‘Weber believed that social class is based on the economic market place...while it is possible to
    make out broad classes within which people share broadly similar life chances, there is also a finely
    graded ladder of classes based on occupations. He distinguished between market situation... and
    the work situation. An individual’s position on the ladder involves not only income but also their
    status.’

    ‘Cambridge IGCSE Sociology Coursebook’ Jonathan Blundell
