I have been reading Gouldner's "The Two Marxisms", where the use of Weberian ideal types has repeatedly frustrated me and had me thinking "maybe Benjamin could teach us how to talk about these big concepts through concrete examples". So Adorno's endorsement of Weber as a more productive form of thinking with "constellations" than Benjamin's "metaphysical investigations" is really disappointing.
