Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis suggest that schools in the U.S. foster competition through built-in systems of rewards and punishments that can cause children to feel stupid and unsuccessful. They argue that this system reproduces the social class structure and reinforces inequalities within society. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, on the other hand, focused more on the economic structure of society and the exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class. Friedrich Engels and Thomas Mann were not conflict theorists who focused on education, and Daniel Albas and Cheryl Albas are not significant figures within sociology or education.
