The Sociology of Education and Work

“David Bills’ brilliant synthesis and critique of research on the education/work nexus now stands as the definitive reference source on the topic. It is a masterful work by our leading authority on this important linkage.” David K. Brown, Illinois State University

“This is a crucial, up-to-date formulation of the relationship between credentialism, work skills, and stratification in today's society. This is the box that everyone is locked in, and Bills tells us the most important things we need to know about it.” Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania
