  Marx and Weber: A Comparison of Views on Industrial Society
  The purpose of this paper is to discuss and compare Marx’s and Weber’s approaches to Industrial Society, and how Weber’s work can be used to both critique and enhance Marx’s analysis. In order to do this, firstly, the problematic nature of Marx’s writings in regards to comparison of his later and earlier work are analyzed and discussed to ascertain ‘the real Marx’, and lay the foundation stones on which his work can be framed for analysis in comparison with Weber. Then areas of agreement between Marx and Weber are highlighted before Weber’s critique of Marx is illustrated.
