Class analysis framework: A capitalist Mode of Production and the Ruling class
• Borrowed from Karl Marx (1818-1883)
• 3 frameworks, one similar to the elite model, one similar to the statist model, and one emphasizes the idea of struggle.
Class analysis strategy
-note that contemporary advanced societies are fundamentally capitalist. • They are organized on the basis of a capitalist mode of production (more than just economy overriding, master organization of society) • Mode of production- forces of production and relations of production profoundly shape the social and political relationships, in this way the capitalist mode of production generates the fundamental function of society. • Private ownership • A right to keep profits • Paying for labor • Market determination of prices. • In the class analysis framework a persons consumption, lifestyle, or subjective awareness are a result of social class. • Two lifestyles, capitalist or worker • Few question capitalism because they mistake it for forces of nature rather than forces of cap. • Class politics is the heart of all politics. Class analysis view of the nation state • Protect capitalism and uphold and advance the power of the capitalist class. • Nation state and capitalism are mutually interdependent. • Key idea is the relative autonomy of the state, where the state has limited room to maneuver, but it cannot violate the basic tenets of capitalism or oppose the long-term interests of the capitalist class. • Three sources of the capitalist state's relative autonomy • 1.) Structural Dependence- state depends on a healthy private economy for its resources. • 2.) Illusions of neutrality- illusion that the state operates in the general public interest. • 3.) Steering mechanism-unique position in society; it distills and advances general capitalist class interests and stands apart from the narrow, short-term, conflicting, and incomplete interests that individual capitalists express.
Power Structure Model
• Focuses on the organization and political actions of capitalist class members. • Model holds that ruling class is FAR MORE THAN ELITE- everything depends on exploitation of workers • Despite intra class divisions they all agree that their survival as capitalist class is crucial, they will defend ferociously their common class interest. • -occupy powerful positions on several different board of directors • Have a family background in or marry into old upper-class wealth • Interact socially with one another. • The corporate liberal thesis states that a group of farsighted, class conscious capitalists became politically organized and had a direct, active role in introducing liberal reforms during periods of social-political crisis.
