From 1974 to 1984, Dahrendorf was director of the London School of Economics, when he returned to Germany to become Professor of Social Science, Konstanz University (1984–86). Furthermore, he believes that traditional Marxism ignores consensus and integration in modern social structures.[21] Dahrendorf's theory defined class not in terms of wealth like Marx, but by levels of authority.[24] Dahrendorf combines elements from both of these perspectives to develop his own theory about class conflict in post-capitalist society. In order to understand structural functionalism, we study three bodies of work: Davis and Moore, Parsons, and Merton.[26][27] Dahrendorf states that capitalism has undergone major changes since Marx initially developed his theory on class conflict. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1438.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1438.txt
