Wolfgang J. Mommsen is one of the foremost Weberian scholars writing today. In this volume, a sequel to his monumental study Max Weber and German Politics , he provides succinct and incisive statements on current developments in the analysis of Weber's work.
The book concentrates upon Weber's engagement with political issues and their influence over his more theoretical concepts. Mommsen offers a critical analysis of Weber's notion of democracy and provides a thorough assessment of Weber's views of socialism against the backcloth of German Social Democracy.
'This lively, well-written volume is a valuable addition to the literature on Max Weber.' Choice
'As an interpreter of Weber, ... Mommsen is of the first rank and this book makes clear the historical dimensions of Weber's thought, the value commitments which underlay it and Weber's pre-eminent position as a theorist of modernity.' ANZJS
