Theories of Inequality Paper

Over the course of several weeks we have read and discussed several social theorists who have in some way or another explained mechanisms and structures of inequality. These theorists include Karl Marx, Max Weber, W.E.B. Du Bois, Patricia Hill Collins, Simone de Beauvoir, Emile Durkheim, and Kingsley Davis/Wilbert E. Moore. We have looked at both classical and more contemporary theorists and we have also examined inequality from both conflict and functionalist perspectives.Your task now is to select one theorist (Davis and Moore count as one) and write a paper explaining why you believe this theorist makes the strongest case for explaining inequality in U.S. society.
