Max Weber formulated a three-component theory of stratification, with class, status and party (or politics) as conceptually distinct elements.

  • Social class is based on economically determined relationship to the market (owner, renter, employee etc.)
  • Status is based on non-economical qualities like honour, prestige and religion.
  • Party refers to factors having to do with affiliations in the political domain.
