Max Weber was a German political economist and sociologist, known as one of the leading figures in a unique generation of historic political economists in Germany during the 1890s. He was born on April 21, 1864, in Erfurt, Prussia, and after early research in the history of commercial law, he established himself as a prominent figure in political economy. In 1895, Weber became a full professor in political economy at Freiburg, and in the following year, he moved to Heidelberg.
Although a personal breakdown in 1898 led to his withdrawal from educational training, it did not impede the flow of his writing, which was extensive in range. Weber’s work focused on the mutual relationship between legal, political, and cultural formations on the one hand and economic activity on the other. His concern with these issues became increasingly theoretical, involving a systematization of the main categories of social and political existence, both universally and as definitive of the specific character of contemporary western civilization.
Weber established his initial standing in Germany with a study of the impact of capitalist business on the agricultural estates east of the Elbe and its implications for the continued dominance of the Junkers over Germany’s political life. However, he is best known for his more comprehensive study of the origins of capitalism itself, as presented in “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” (1904-1985). Weber argued that the accumulation of wealth for investment was an unintended result of the Protestant ethic, which was enforced by the social and emotional pressures on the believer to confirm his salvation.
Weber’s work challenged reductionist attempts to treat motivations as merely a reflection of self-interest, instead of as mutually interacting with them, or to provide an account of social change without reference to the motivation Drive by Daniel Pink - Book Evaluation - by Stacie Stacie Stacie People often don't understand what drives me at work.

A common comment I… of the social agents involved. Weber believed that social hierarchy was inevitable, and its analysis lay in the relationship to be found between the analytically distinct dimensions of status, property, and political or organizational power. Different societies can be recognized by the predominance of one dimension over the others.
In Weberian political sociology, alongside the ‘traditional’ and ‘rational’ principles of legitimacy, was a third principle, the ‘charismatic.’ This indicated an authority deriving from the individual of the leader himself and the compelling energy of his content, instead of from custom or the rules governing a specific workplace. It was a non-routinized force in social life and was crucial to asserting control over bureaucratic management and securing innovation in the face of its conservative tendencies.
Weber defined bureaucracy as a system of management embodying the characteristics of hierarchy, impersonality, continuity, and expertise. He believed that the attempt to substitute the ‘anarchy’ of the marketplace and achieve better equality through social planning would involve a massive expansion of bureaucratic force and therefore of unfreedom and economic stagnation.
In 1914, Weber completed “Economy and Society,” where he explored socialism and the attempt to achieve greater equality through social planning. He argued that this would involve a massive expansion of bureaucratic force and, consequently, of unfreedom and economic stagnation. Weber’s work on bureaucracy and the iron cage is often cited in sociological theory as representative of the new middle class, distinct from both capital and labor.
Overall, Weber is regarded as a significant figure in social science and political theory, with his work influencing the fields of economics, political science, and sociology.
