Unequal ownership: Perspectives on a class-based investigation of wealth

Abstract: ZusammenfassungDas Schisma zwischen Eigentum und Nicht-Eigentum an Produktivvermögen galt einst als der zentrale Klassengegensatz in kapitalistischen Gesellschaften. In den klassensoziologischen Debatten der letzten Dekaden wurde die Vermögensungleichheit dagegen eher randständig behandelt. In Deutschland besitzt das reichste Prozent der Bevölkerung rund 35 Prozent des gesamten Vermögens, und bis weit in die Mittelschichten hinein haben Wohneigentum und Finanzvermögen eine wichtige Funktion für die soziale Abs… Show more
