Which of the following sociological explanations of social inequality is Robinson Crusoe most consistent with?

A) Marx's
B) Weber's
C) Davis and Moore's
D) Bourdieu's

Davis and Moore's functionalist theory of social stratification argues that social inequality is necessary to motivate individuals to fill different positions in society that require varying levels of skill and responsibility. In "Robinson Crusoe," the social inequality depicted is not based on economic capital (Marx), status and power differences (Weber), or cultural capital (Bourdieu), but rather on the functional necessity of different roles for survival, which aligns more closely with Davis and Moore's perspective.
