University of Akron Marxian Theory and Weberian Theory Comparison Paper
Compare and contrast Marxian theory, Weberian theory, and functionalist theoretical arguments on inequalities.
What is the main kind (or kinds) of inequality that each theory emphasizes as fundamental? What term[s] does each theory uses to identify this kind of inequality?
What does each see as the main cause or underlying explanation for inequality (i.e., what is the basis of each theory’s “analysis”?)
What does each theory say about whether a equal society is desirable, and how – if at all – a more equal society might be brought about? (Note: You might organize your answer or notes in a table format—if possible.)
