Abstract
Both within social theory and social history debate ranges around the usefulness of ideas of "class". This article reflects on this debate. It considers the history of the concept and the ways it has been used in analyzing different historical periods. It argues that there is a need to refine its usage and to modify crude distinctions made between structuralist and culturalist approaches. Its conclusion suggests that there is considerable scope for such a reformulated class analysis.
