Rezensionen

"Having established himself as a leading Weber scholar and translator, Stephen Kalberg shows that he is an editor of vision and sensibility. He presents the full range of Weber's writing in a way that indicates Weber's grasp of all aspects of social reality and the enduring value of his analysis." Jack Barbalet, University of Leicester
