This title examines and compares four major theories of capitalism, in the works of Marx, Weber, Schumpeter and Hayek. It offers an analysis of a phase of capitalism that has been conceptualized by Marxists thinkers.

In this substantially revised second edition of a classic text, Tom Bottomore reconsiders elite theory in the light of recent studies. He examines its role in relation to class structures, and considers the prospects for a more equal society.

This classic text deals with a broad range of questions concerning the organisation and exercise of political power
