Property and power perform a key role in social and political
theories of class inequality and social stratification, however,
theorists have yet clearly to define these concepts, their mutual
boundaries and scopes of application. This book answers the
property/power puzzle by undertaking a broad historical inquiry
into its intellectual origins and present-day effects through a
series of case studies, including:
Marxism vs. anarchism
* the fascist assertion of the primacy of the political
* social science as power theory
* the managerial revolution
* the knowledge society and the new intellectual classes
The Intellectual as Stranger explores the historical association
between images of the intellectual and those of the stranger, or
the outsider to society. Using detailed case-studies, Pels examines
the ambiguous strangerhood of political intellectuals such as Marx,
Durkheim, Sorel, Freyer and Hendrik de Man.
