Review
Jurgen Kocka is one of the foremost historians of Germany whose
work has been devoted to the integration of different genres of the
social and economic history of Europe during the period of
industrialization. This collection of essays gives a representative
sample of his effort to develop, by reference to Marx and Weber,
new and powerful analytical tools for understanding the dynamics of
modern industrial societies.
