Ticked every box thus i'm 1337.
Reading the questions, it's obvious that this owes a great deal to Bourdieu's analysis of class as being a multi faceted thing, comprised of social, cultural and economic capital. This seems so make sense - did the 'lotto lout' Michael Carroll become upper class overnight when he won the lottery? Probably not, as he still liked the same things and socialised with the same people he had always done - which was originally dictated by his social class (and that of his parents)
Perhaps no one actually fully fits in any class, but these groupings can be useful fictions in explaining other phenomena, such as health etc.
Is precariat a subset of proletariat?
