In India, society is less bound by the intricate distinctions of caste than it used to be. But in areas like marriage and coming-of-age ceremonies, caste persists. Also, we visit a rural province of China where most people remain poor, despite promises of change under communism and, more recently, capitalism. And, is it possible to create a classless society? Britain tried that over the past few decades, but the country's economic woes may be ushering in a new class consciousness. Presented by the World's Carol Hills with Beyond Class series editor Patrick Cox.
