Abstract

This article focuses on similarities and disagreements between Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu in class analysis. For this, four themes are discussed: the Weberian contribution regarding types of social stratification, notably class and status; the class analysis presented in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, focusing on dispositions related to competitive capitalism; the Bourdieusian proposal on class positions, resulting from expressive procedures and differential access to capital species; and the incorporation of habitus based on socialization experiences.
