Content: In so doing, employers and included groups perpetuate existing social distinctions and reinforce them, creating durable inequality. Increasingly, modern interpretations stress marginalization ’ s collective character and the role of the state, elites, and entrenched groups in determining who is marginalized. But wherever it occurs, marginalization seldom begins afresh. Institutions typically fill new job hierarchies in line with existing social ranks. Groups marginalized in the past have the best chance of being marginalized in the future. SEE ALSO Education, Unequal; Inequality, Income; Inequality, Political; Lumpenproletariat; Marxism;
