520 _aThe book harps on the discussion of the theories built around the perspective with which societies encourage social inequality by stratifying their members and fellow different practical policies. The way social inequality varies from society to society is the crux of the matter and, therefore, the principal types of social inequality are discussed in detail, main focus being on the five principal types of the system of inequality: slavery, estate, caste, class and modern stratification in advanced industrial society. It is one thing to consider the stable aspects of inequality and it is quite another thing to find out exactly how they come out. The study, therefore, takes on the study of mobility on three interrelated aspects of social mobility-sources, patterns and consequences. The implication of social stratification in relation to individual and society have been discussed giving a fresh look at issues involved in social stratification in the Epilogue.
