2013 Reprint of 1927 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Max
Weber's "General Economic History" is based on his lecture notes
and compiled shortly after his death. In this work Weber proposes
an institutional theory of the rise of capitalism in the west.
Unlike in his classic work on the Protestant ethic, religion is
given a minor role. The emphasis of the work lies instead on the
place of the state and calculable law in allowing economic actors
to predict exchange for gain. Weber's institutional theory of
capitalism was rediscovered in the early 1980s by writers like
Randall Collins, Daniel Chirot, and Douglass C. North, who worked
to replace theories based largely on Immanuel Wallerstein's "World
Systems" theory. Though today read primarily by sociologists and
social philosophers, Weber's work did have a significant influence
on Frank Knight, one of the founders of the neoclassical Chicago
school of economics, who translated Weber's General Economic
History into English in 1927.
