He seeks to correct those misinterpretations of Weber's work which have stressed his classification, rather than his attempts to theorise and explain social phenomena on the basis of a comparitive analysis of universal historical trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was first published in 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233497043288,"sku":"9780415402149","price":248.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415402149.jpg?v=1768461321","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/max-weber-on-capitalism-bureaucracy-and-religion","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
