Introduction:
Is there a causal order of social stratification? Are the conditions of each stratum causally tied to conditions of some other stratum such that all strata form a Causal Order of Society? While stratification is a well studied phenomenon in Sociology, a concept from the founder of Austrian Economics, Carl Menger, can be used to study how entire society is knit in a causal order of its strata. The concept is of Causal Order of Goods, and an exposition of its implications for aforementioned hypothesis, which are policy relevant, is the topics of this essay.
In this essay I will briefly introduce you to the Causal Order of Goods, and proceed to discuss why we should expect it to be related with stratification of society. In the subsequent section I will first discuss two empirical hypotheses sets that bear an interest for both an Economists and a Sociologist alike, and then present to you two questions, which are policy relevant, for discussing with your colleagues.
