New right

• Saunders - Does not see stratification as an inevitable part of all societies. He argues that a society based on social equality would only be possible if force was used to ensure that everyone did their work to the best of their abilities
• Saunders - Rejects equality of outcomes, so a degree of inequality is desirable to motivate people to complete, AS LONG AS everyone has the opportunity to do so.
• Murray - Underclass.

  Disadvantaged social groups needed to be encouraged to stand on their own feet, rather than expecting the state to support them.
• Murray - Government policy of state benefits created a dependency culture where poor people were given no motivation to better themselves
