Abstract

Records an investigation of changing class variation in household expenditure on food in contemporary Britain. Based on secondary analysis of the Family Expenditure Survey, it documents the persistence of class differences between 1968 and 1988 showing that they cannot be reduced to levels of household income. Argues that obituaries for the concept of social class in the sociological and cultural studies literatures are premature.
