Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rank society is one in which there is unequal access to prestige, but equal access to economic resources. This means that individuals may have different levels of status or importance in society, but they all have equal access to resources such as money or education. Egalitarian societies have equal access to both prestige and economic resources, socially stratified societies have unequal access to both, and class societies have both economic and status hierarchies.
