Evidence

Weber’s theory of rationalization — perhaps the centrepiece of non-Marxist social theory - provided the most important single account of the constitution of modernity. Modernization involves, in the first place, the differentiation of originally unitary social practices, in particular, of the capitalist economy and the modern state. — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 153
