Max Weber: modernisation as passive revolution : a Gramscian analysis

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 is best understood as an organic intellectual of the bourgeoisie. Viewed as a whole, his writings present a new model for bourgeois hegemony in the transition to 'Fordism'Throughout his analysis, Rehmann brings into view the true Weber: a sharp critic of a 'passive revolution' in Germany tying the bourgeois class to the interests of the agrarian class, and a proponent of a more modern version of passive revolution, which would foreclose a socialist revolution by the construction of an industrial bloc consisting of the bourgeoisie and labour aristocracy.
