This is an interesting question and provocative potential explanation by Magne Flemmen:
In the review, Giddens makes what might be an interesting concession, when he says that no one has contributed more to overcoming the objectivism- subjectivism divide than Bourdieu. Recall that this was also the stated ambition of Giddens’ own work. Should this be taken to mean that Giddens had come to see Bourdieu as beating him “in his own game”?
