“Another major problem is that privilege theory describes the symptoms rather than the cause of call inequalities. For example, being well educated happens because of class privilege. It is not a privilege in itself. By focussing on the end result of privilege, rather than the cause, privilege theory fails to understand the origins of inequality.” — Katie Roche
