‘Heath and Li are impressively comprehensive in their discussion of social mobility. They examine occupational change from the medieval period onwards, review insights generated by the latest studies using tax data and provide fresh statistics on the historically understudied issues of mobility by gender, race and migration status.’ Jo Blanden, University of Surrey ‘Social Mobility is a hugely important book on a topic that matters to us all. It is historical, comparative and interdisciplinary in its review of patterns and trends with due regard to gender and race and ethnicity. The discussion on who gets ahead and why is simply excellent.’ Fiona Devine, University of Manchester
