Notes

[9] Industrial Revolution [...] Why Marxist? Ashley, Ashdeacon, Cunnigham, Schmoller Levasseur and Toynbee – not one of them sounds Marxian. True there were others like Sombart, Mantoux, Brentano, Hasbach.

(Toynbee founder of the Toynbee Hall)

Or the group of Maitlan, Manus and Guerke, or Brunner, Lamprecht, Below and Dopsch – nut none of which sound Marxist. Excepting of course Marx and Engels one of which as we know did not deny that he was a Marxist.

[112] Sociological terms in economics MW deals with the {sozeil} on 3 levels:
(a) gen. soc. terms
(b)
(c)

M. Weber’s definitions for collective apparent process are vague on the crucial point. If market motives are the essentially “economic” what in the {veisme} of gainful they certainly are – then the economical be the production of material goods, for the two are {enlivef} different. In effect, if the first definition is mainted there exist no specifically economic objects - if the latter is {achieved} to, then there exist {tnuf} objects, but no specific motives to them. The first position was consistently maintained by Menger, Robbins, etc.; the second is by myself.
