Publisher's Synopsis

What Social Classes Owe To Each Other is a book written by William Graham Sumner, a renowned American sociologist and economist. The book was first published in 1883 and is considered a classic work in the field of social theory. The book explores the relationship between different social classes in society and the obligations that each class owes to the others. Sumner argues that each social class has its own unique role to play in society, and that these roles are interdependent. He also argues that the wealthy have a responsibility to help the less fortunate, but that this responsibility should not be forced upon them by the government. The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the concept of social classes and their relationship to one another. The second part examines the role of the state in regulating social classes and ensuring social justice. The third and final part of the book focuses on the responsibilities of individuals within each social class, and how they can work together to create a more just and equitable society. Overall, What Social Classes Owe To Each Other is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex relationships between social classes in society. It remains relevant and influential today, and is a must-read for anyone interested in social theory and the dynamics of social inequality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
