The analysis of social distinction cannot indefinitely remain confined to logics of reasoning that are markedly ethnocentric. Rather than just applying the consecrated schemes of Veblen or Bourdieu, Daloz provides new foundations in this book for understanding 21st Century Dubai, China, Russia and settings of the past.

Jean-Pascal Daloz is Research Professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, and President of the Research Committee on Comparative Sociology of the International Sociological Association. His publications include The Sociology of Elite Distinction, Africa Works and Culture Troubles.
