About this book

Weber’s Rationalism and Modern Society rediscovers Max Weber for the twenty-first century. Tony and Dagmar Waters’ translation of Weber’s works highlights his contributions to the social sciences and politics, credited with highlighting concepts such as “iron cage,” “bureaucracy,” “bureaucratization,” “rationalization,” “charisma,” and the role of the “work ethic” in ordering modern labor markets. Outlining the relationship between community (Gemeinschaft), and market society (Gesellschaft), the issues of social stratification, power, politics, and modernity resonate just as loudly today as they did for Weber during the early twentieth century.
