The aim of this dissertation is to critically assess the adoption of the term “class” by Sociology and its re-processing into class analysis, a research programme that chiefly bloomed from within Post-War Anglo-American Sociology. This assessment is informed by a singular Marxist viewpoint (that of Peruvian scholar of Marx's thought, Guillermo Rochabrún) which allows us 1) to distinguish between already given facts and the constitutive processes of social life; 2) to unveil the connection of sociological research with the historical evolution of capitalism, particularly class analysis´s concern with the appearances of capitalism and neglect of the inquiry for its determining elements; and 3) to provide clues to a more insightful account for “pressing social issues” of current capitalism, namely, the slowdown in poverty reduction and middle class growth, socio-economic inequality and exclusion.
