Abstract
Approaches to class analysis raise a lot of discussions and debates among representatives of different sociological schools and perspectives. Transitional periods change views on forming class structure in the society. The article reviews the theory of neo-Marxist sociologist Erik Olin Wright. In his work Wright paid particular attention to the class analysis of modern societies, namely to the research into controversial class stands and the phenomenon of exploitation.
