Reviews

It is a first-rate piece of economic sociology, and its publication should hopefully bring the work of this creative and methodologically versatile scholar to a wider English-reading audience. I suspect it will become a mainstay on sociology of finance syllabi, as well as as an important reference on organizational dimensions of inequality. (...) Empirically, The Working Rich presents a comprehensive multi-method analysis of the production and distribution of bonuses in French banking firms. One of the great virtues of the study is its meso-level approach. Godechot goes beyond aggregate statistics and axiomatic winner-take-all theories to examine the underlying organizational mechanisms by which bankers are able to capture such outsized compensation. Godechot marshals a truly formidable amount of original data collected over eighteen years [1997-2015]. - Adam Goldstein, European Journal of Sociology
