Louis Althusser (1918--1990) and his colleagues, prominently including *tienne Balibar, reworked Marxism using insights from structuralism, against the so-called ``humanist'' trend in Sartrean and Western Marxisms. Althusser offered an influential new reading of Marx's work, describing an ``epistemological break'' between the young, Hegelian Marx and the late Marx of Das Kapital. With his focus on the economic level and theory, Althusser came into conflict with social historians, such as E.P. Thompson.
