The extension of working hours without proportionate benefits or increased wages can be seen as a form of economic exploitation, intensifying alienation among workers. The state acting in favour of capital rather than labour echoes Marx\u2019s notion of the state as an instrument of the ruling class.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Bureaucratisation and Rationalisation: Max Weber&#8217;s idea of rational-legal authority and bureaucratisation<\/strong> helps us understand how the law is being used to legitimise increased control over labour.
