The Matrix
I realize that I did not SAVE my additions to the matrix before sending it out.
Duh.
I am going to see if I have it open on my machine at home, but if not, I printed it so I can re-type it.
Sorry about that!

Evol
-hist. materialism of society is class struggle, new classes arise that are related to new forms of production & struggle w/ old, saw evolution from communal life to capitalism to socialism to communism -rejects idea of "single hand" of change such as evolution or class conflict, thus rejects social evolution - its multicausal
Labor
-the rise of private property and the state are the source of class distinctions, the two main classes are the capitalists (bourgeoise) and the workers (proletariat)
-also saw men and women as the “first division of labor”
-office is basis of authority, not ownership, rules, etc. - bu t bureaucracy is an iron cage

Social Fact
??? -reverse of Durkheim's social facts as things - soc must interpret meaning & dev of human lives
Social Change
Social change is brought about by class struggle resulting in revolution of the working class which produces a classless society (socialism then capitalism) -from tension btw traditional & rationalization w/both in tension with charismatic -multicausal, econ & other (non-liner)
