[4] Weber uses bureaucratic organization as a means for exercising control by calculated acts of influence. [5] Abolition of control and capitalists that cannot exist without wage-workers would create a Utopian Socialism where superstition, injustice, privilege, oppression, were to be superseded by equality Contrast: [2] Weber Explained social phenomena in cultural terms. [3] Mark Focussed on group rather than individual action (trade unions, workplace organizations). [4] Weber focussed on individual social action and interaction [5] For Marx the key influences of motivation are greed, alienation, exploitation, labour/manager distinction [6] Weber see motivation as a function of technical problems to be overcome [7] Marx suggests that religion provides justification for the status quo and relief for suffering in the material world.
