Max Weber on Capitalism, Bureaucracy and Religion

Herausgeber: Andreski, Stanislav

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sections of text from Weber's major works (Gesammelte, Aufsatze Zur Religionssoziologie, including The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism; General Economic History; and The Agrarian Sociology of Ancient Civilisations) have been used to explain crucial turns in the evolution of societies and cultures, while being carefully edited and substantially translated to form a coherent and integrated volume, thus eliminating the difficulties of language and frequent mistranslation which have previously made Weber so difficult and baffling for students new to his work.
