"Typical depictions of social class in the United States posit a linear,
ordered hierarchy. I’ve actually come to the conclusion that there are 3
distinct ladders, with approximately four social classes on each.
Additionally, there is an underclass of people not connected to any of
the ladders, creating an unlucky 13th social class. I’ll attempt to
explain how this three-ladder system works, what it means, and also why
it is a source of conflict."
Lengthy and interesting essay - I don't agree with everything, but worth
reading.
