Traditions of Culture: Authority and Values in The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down This essay argues that Weber's theory of social stratification (McIntosh 1997) provides the reader with a valuable resource for understanding Anne Fadiman's (1998) The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Where Marx provides a valuable foundation of class divisions based on economics, Weber's elaboration allows a deeper understanding of the complex systems that characterize the contemporary social sphere. 5 pgs.
