Question

compare and contrast marxism, pluralist tradition, and weberian tradition

Answer 1

Marxism is given by Karl Marx, that focused to study socioeconomic scenario and proposed the classless society where everyone is equal, whereas pluralist tradition focuses to identify that it is the government that takes decisions, but its decisions are influenced by the other interest groups. In contrast to these two approaches, Weberian tradition relies on three classes in the society on the basis of class, status and power.

Here, Marxism relies on classless society and all power of distribution to the government, pluralist tradition involves other interest groups as well that can influence the decision even if it is made by the government. But, Weberian tradition clearly distinguishes the classes in the society. So, it is a movement from classless to class based society when society moves from Marxism to pluralist and then Weberian traditions.
