Emphasizing the commonalities between these two theorists, Sayer does a good job of taking them on their own terms and focusing on modernity, but also carrying in elements of a postmodern perspective. Surprisingly dated given that Marx and Weber are long gone, but there is a lot about his analysis that seems specific to questions that must have seemed more relevant in the late 1980s. Doesn't really assume you know very much about either of theses thinkers, but probably still interesting if you do.
