Hashimoto has been a solitary voice in the social stratification analysis of Japanese society for the last two decades in presenting its class structure in Marxian terms. His models and findings have recently attracted much attention with an increasing number of sociologists demonstrating increased inequality and robust class reproduction in Japan. Based on the data collected in 1995 by the Japanese Sociological Association, the book investigates four major classes - capitalist, working, new and old middle - and their characteristics and mobility patterns in terms of income, work, social network, leisure activity, gender relations and voting behaviour.
