This brilliant study opposes the Marxist concept of dialectical
materialism and its view that change takes place through the
conflict of opposites. Instead, Weber relates the rise of a
capitalist economy to the Puritan determination to work out anxiety
over salvation or damnation by performing good deeds - an effort
that ultimately encouraged capitalism.
Considered one of the founders of modern sociology, German
sociologist and historian MAX WEBER (1864-1920) long studied the
impact of religion on culture-is most famous work is 1905's The
Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism-but he was also
renowned as a thinker on economic issues. Here, in this classic
collection of lectures first published in English in 1927 and
translated by American economist Frank Hyneman Knight (1885-1972),
Weber brings his keen and lively sociological eye to the history of
commerce, money, and industrial endeavor, discussing: .
agricultural organization and the problem of agrarian communism .
the house community and the clan . the evolution of the family as
conditioned by economic factors . the condition of the peasants
before the entrance of capitalism . capitalistic development of the
manor . stages in the development of industry and mining . the
origin of the European guilds . the factory and its forerunners .
forms of organization of transportation and commerce . money and
monetary history . the meaning of modern capitalism . the first
great speculative crisis . citizenship as an economic concept . the
evolution of the capitalistic spirit . and much more.

Introduction by Keith Tribe Weber's Conceptual Preface appears here
for the first time in English, translated by Keith Tribe
Max Weber wrote these methodological essays in the closest intimacy
with actual research and against a background of constant and
intensive meditation on substantive problems in the theory and
strategy of the social sciences. They were written between 1903 and
1917, the most productive of Max Weber's life, when he was working
on his studies in the sociology of religion and Wirtschaft und
Gesellschaft. Weber had done important work in economic and legal
history and had taught economic theory. On the basis of original
investigations, he had acquired a specialist's knowledge of the
details of German economic and social structure. His always vital
concern for the political prosperity of Germany among the nations
thrust him deeply into discussion of political ideals and programs.
Weber's methodology still holds interest for us. Some of its
shortcomings, from the contemporary viewpoint, may be attributed to
the fact that some of the methodological problems that he treated
could not be satisfactorily resolved prior to certain actual
developments in research technique. These few qualifications aside,
the work remains a pioneering work in large scale social research,
from one of the field's masters.
