"Class interest offers only a limited explanation of longrun movements in society. The fate of classes is more frequently determined by the needs of society than the fate of society by the needs of classes. Given a definite structure of society, the class theory works; but what if that structure itself undergoes a change? A class that has become functionless may disintegrate ans be supplanted overnight." (p 160)
