Disclaimer. Don't rely on these old notes in lieu of reading the literature, but they can jog your memory. As a grad student long ago, my peers and I collaborated to write and exchange summaries of political science research. I posted them to a wiki-style website. "Wikisum" is now dead but archived here. I cannot vouch for these notes' accuracy, nor can I say who wrote them.
Weber. Class, status, party. In From Max Weber, eds. H Gerth and CW Mills (1946), Oxford University Press.
Weber outlines three types of social structures: economic ("class," especially propertied vs. laborers), social ("status," often tied to class, but not always, such as ethnic/religious groups, guilds, and so on), and political ("parties," often based on status and class distinctions, but not always).
