Answer 1

Max Weber is known as the "bourgeoise Marx".Important Points

Despite of differences in approach to the analysis of industrial society of Marx and Weber, Weber occasionally described himself as a "member of the bourgeoise".
Weber agreed with Marx that there was a clear distinction between those who owned the means of production and those who did not, but he saw far more and more complex divisions than Marx did.
He saw divisions based on market situation and some people could get higher salaries because they had skills that were more in demand.
