Abstract
This article provides an empirical test for Bowles and Gintis's correspondence principle. By examining the internal workings of two Los Angeles suburban high schools, one is a wealthy white community and the other in a racially mixed working-class community, this paper represents an effort to explore the concrete dimensions of the ways schools integrate adolescents into the economic system through a structured correspondence between the social relations of the school and those of production.
