Network Persistence and the Axis of Hierarchy

How Orderly Stratification Is Implicit in Sticky Struggles

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Network Persistence and the Axis of Hierarchy" shows how networks, modestly redefined as a strong, yet imperfect tendency for pairings to recur day after day, that is, stickiness, imply a singular axis of stratification. This is contrary to the nearly universal insistence that stratification is multidimensional. Reanalysis of three central mobility data sets sustains the novel claim.
