“As an explanation tool, the concept of class serves, first and foremost, to clarify who gains and who losses from specific economic processes and policies and with what consequences.”
Alejandro Portes, Economic Sociology: A Systematic Inquiry

Erik Olin Wright
“Class analysis can thus function not simply as part of scientific theory of interests and conflicts, but of an emancipatory theory of alternatives and social justice as well. Even if socialism is off the historical agenda, the idea of countering the exploitative logic of capitalism is not.”
Erik Olin Wright, Approaches to Class Analysis
