Some theories of exploitation (Marxist, new liberal) are structural, while others are organizational (neoclassical).

Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marxs concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freuds.”
