| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This contribution sketches Max Weber's model of historical causation and contrasts it to Robert Brenner's property relations approach, as appropriated by Teschke. A consideration of theoretical and methodological differences is complemented by a substantive argument concerning the role of religion in state formation. It is suggested that Teschke's focus on the 'logic of exploitation' leads to his marginalizing the role of religion and the importance of the collective action of 'ordinary people'. |
