• & Chan follows a Weberian logic that leads him to emphasize a status measure that relies on information about occupation and friendship networks. FJR follow a Bourdieusian logic that lead them to rely on multiple dimensions of economic capital and multiple measures of cultural capital simultaneously to comprise a social space. (p. 883)
