It delves into the insights of influential thinkers like Claus Offe, Jurgen Habermas, and Immanuel Wallerstein, presenting their provocative arguments. The author concludes that while contemporary capitalism may not foster a revolutionary proletariat, class relations remain crucial for understanding capitalism's historical trajectory and the challenges it faces, albeit in ways that diverge from Marx's original vision.
