Religious Income Stratification in the United States

More about the book

The paper explores the often-overlooked influence of religion on socioeconomic status, building on Weber's analysis of the Protestant work ethic. It critiques contemporary social stratification research for prioritizing race, class, and gender while neglecting religion's role in shaping individual opportunities. The author argues that despite the perception of increasing secularism in modern societies, religion continues to impact social and economic chances, challenging the notion that it has diminished in significance within public life.
