My point (of course) is that we need to identify _classes_ but we do
_not_  need to classify _individuals_ into classes. It is the latter
that is a scholarly sorting game. One red marble, two blue marbles, 1
blue&red marble. Hence I don't quite see the relevance of the book
cited. The relationship of classes defines what a social order is, but
the sorting process at the individual level is a distraction from the
study of those relationships which define classes.
