“This work is the sum of Max Weber’s scholarly vision of society. It has become a constitutive part of the sociological imagination as it is understood today. Economy and Society was the first strictly empirical comparaison of social structure and normative order in world-historical depth.”

This is the first complete English edition of Economy and Society. All hitherto unavailable chapters and sections have been translated and the annotation has been considerably expanded. The Appendix contains a brief terminological supplement and one of Weber’s major political essays. All previously translated parts used here have been thoroughly revised and many passages have been rewritten.
The original translators of these chapters are absolved from all responsibility for the present version of their work. We would like to thank Ephraim Fischoff for going over our revision of his translation of the “Sociology of Religion” (Part Two, ch. VI) and for making further suggestions and offering other help. However, he too should not be held responsible For the final version. (from Preface by Guenther Roth and Claus Wittich, 1968)

"Sociology (in the sense in which this highly ambiguous word is used here) is a science concerning itself with the interpretive understanding of social action and thereby with a causal explanation of its course and consequences. We shall speak of 'action' insofar as the acting individual attaches a subjective meaning to his behavior-be it overt or covert, omission or acquiescence. Action is 'social' insofar as its subjective meaning takes account of the behavior of others and is thereby oriented in its course."
Max Weber (1864–1920) was a German sociologist, philosopher, and political economist, widely regarded as one of the founding figures of modern sociology. His work spans a wide array of topics, including social theory, the development of capitalism, the role of religion in society, and the study of bureaucracy.
