This theory is opposed by many sociologists on the grounds that a complex phenomenon such as the rise of a political organization cannot be caused by a simple phenomenon.

It can be properly inferred from the statements above that many sociologists believe that
economically motivated decisions by voters need not constitute a complex phenomenon
a complex phenomenon generally will have many complex causes
political phenomena often have religious and cultural causes as well as economic ones
popular support for political parties is never a complex phenomenon
the decisions of individual voters are not usually influenced by their beliefs about which policies will yield them the greatest economic advantage
