Basing his research on
Gramsci's theory of hegemony, Rehmann provides a comprehensive
socio-analysis of Max Weber's political and intellectual position in the
ideological network of his time. Max Weber: Modernisation as Passive Revolution
shows that, even though Weber presents his science as ‘value-free’, he

the mission of providing his class with an intense ethico-political
education. Viewed as a whole, his writings present a new model for
bourgeois hegemony in the transition to ‘Fordism’. Weber is both a sharp

revolution by the construction of an industrial bloc consisting of the
bourgeoisie and labour aristocracy.READ MORE.....
