Rational Domination or Rationalization of Domination? Some Reflections on Marx and Weber

Abstract

The study of the state has been historically the spinal column of social thought. Currently, it is an essential task a return to the bases to retake certain notions that allow us to see some of the present problems that go through the state and its complex relation with other aspects of the social life. Consequently, the article analyzes the visions of Karl Marx and Max Weber in order to point out how their contributions can guide the reflection of the state today.
