Develops an interpretation of Marx’s work as the basis of a critique of both orthodox Marxism and of both modern economics and sociology. The core of this book is an analysis of Marx’s theory of alienated labour as the basis of Marx’s critique of liberal social theory. This leads to both an original interpretation of Marx’s work and to the liberal foundations of the subjects of economics and sociology. This critique is developed through an account of revolution, and of the parallel revolution in sociology carried through by Max Weber. The conclusion relates the critique to the subsequent developments in both Marxism and sociology.
