He emphasized how modern capitalist societies tend to prioritize efficiency, calculability, and control, leading to an increase in bureaucratic structures. While he also recognized that such systems could be alienating, his primary focus was on the rational and systematic characteristics defining modern capitalism rather than outright exploitation in the sense that Marx discussed.
