- Summary:
- Weber is increasingly being recognized as "the" theorist of modernity. Unlike Marx and Freud, he has not suffered from the mistakes of his followers, and as capitalism triumphs his writings about disenchantment, routinization, the foundering of morality and justice and the disintegration of personality seem to have the ring of prophecy about them. This new reader, selected by one of the world's leading Weber scholars introduces the work of this key thinker to a new generation of readers. The reader will highlight key themes, and many of the selections have been specially translated for this collection both to improve accuracy and to make Weber speak anew in the idiom of the twenty first century.
