David Lockwood, changed the way British sociologists view and study class with groundbreaking books such as The Blackcoated Worker (1958). Researching the class consciousness of clerical staff from the mid-19th century onwards, he found that they saw themselves as "of different clay" to manual workers. Clerks had greater job security, different workplace experiences and a sense of superiority (encapsulated by the black coats they wore).

“Abraham Wald pointed out how even the best minds of the US military can be fooled by the winners. His analysis showed that a careful study of survivors can tell us a lot about the non-survivors, who are sometimes difficult or impossible to observe. Most importantly, he demonstrated that we should pay close attention to both survivors and non-survivors before drawing conclusions.”

“Older and stronger firstborns dominate their younger brothers and sisters and thus tend to like the world the way it is.
