The Transition From Capitalism To Socialism (studies In Sociology)

This series, prepared under the auspices of the British Sociological Association, has now been revised to present larger, more substantial works. The overall purpose of the series remains the same: to provide scholarly yet argumentative treatments of key problems in sociology. The books are neither textbooks nor research monographs. Rather they present an original viewpoint upon subjects where an orthodoxy does not exist, whether because of undue neglect or because recent research has overturned previous orthodoxies. The series is designed to provide empirically informed theory about society, relating a diversity of empirical areas to central problems of sociological theory.
