homology between different types of capitals
7 proposed classes: elite, established middle class, technical middle class, new affluent workers, traditional working class, emerging service workers, precariat
not exactly a hierarchy but arranged by income (varies slightly in terms of social/cultural capital)
intersects with class and age: traditional working class older; elites fairly old, whitest
service workers tend to be younger, more ethnic minorities
