13329. SOCIAL MOBILITY AND CLASS STRUCTURE IN MODERN BRITAIN BY JOHN GOLDTHORPE. A review and critique of Goldthorpe's modern sociological classic (published in 1980). Praises Goldthorpe for his detailed and comprehensive attention to the topic. While the first chapter is viewed as a "minor masterpiece," providing a precise historical summary of scientific interest questions of class structure and mobility from Marx through the present, subsequent chapters are faulted for their general inaccessibility and at times utter impenetrability to the average reader. 7 pages, 5 footnotes, 1 bibliography.
