What is Max Weber’s critique of Karl Marx?
gpt
His critique of Marx (at least, when it comes to "The Protestant Ethic") is that he is too reductionist in his analysis of the development of Capitalism. Marx saw only an economic base, but Weber saw a religious development that contributed to the spread of Capitalism. Weber never said that Marx was incorrect with his economic analysis, but needed to add other factors. In fact, later Marxists would attempt to fuse both theories.
