Both Marx and Weber believed that modern society was alienating, but for different reasons. Marx believed that capitalism created a class struggle between the proletariat and bourgeoisie, leading to alienation from the means of production and from themselves. Weber believed that modern society's increasing rationalization and emphasis on efficiency and bureaucracy led to a loss of individuality and autonomy, therefore, causing alienation.
