Abstract
Class, Status, and Power is the title of an edited collection by Reinhard Bendix and Seymour Martin Lipset. The first edition was published in 1953, and after several reprints a thoroughly revised edition appeared in 1966. “Class, status, and power” is also an apt name for the research program that dominated the sociology of stratification in the first decades after World War II. This program denied the existence, in all times and in every society, of one fundamental dimension of stratification and viewed societal stratification as three‐dimensional, with the task of sociological research being to determine in concrete cases the interplay of class, status, and power and its consequences for the extent to which societies change or are stable.
