It argues that CMS might contribute to the empirical engagement with the over-determined relations between class and non-class processes in work organizations (this appears to have received relatively little attention in PCA) and that PCA's theoretical and conceptual commitments may provide one means for CMS to engage in class analysis. CMS's focus on power and symbolic relations has led to the relative neglect of exploitation and class, in surplus terms. Both fields share similar although not identical political and ethical commitments.application/pdfCritical Management StudiesPostmodern class analysisJournal Articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08935690701412844Massey_DarkMassey_Dark
