What people believe is true, so the truism goes, is true. But truisms do not take us very far, since a more important question might be 'how true?' or, other, 'how significant?' in relation to all the other social phenomenon in which people believe or by which they are affected. One can go further and say that a pragmatic assessment of a range of evidence suggests that there be a strong preassumption that classes do indeed exist, though again the question of how important they are must remain for later exploration.
