Hallway Hangers and their rivals, the Brothers

In Chapter 7, Charles Lemert tells the story of the Hallway Hangers and their rivals, the Brothers. The leader of the Hallway Hangers is a young man Frankie, who speaks quite frankly about the life chances of him and his friends. In short, Lemert refers to Frankie as a 'good practical sociologist' because he grasps the reality of the effects of social class and economic inequality on the their lives, even if he doesn't think of them this way.

Explain what Lemert means by, "In modern societies, power works from within the wounded or cold hearts of individuals," and how he applies this to Frankie and his situation.
