Max Weber A Biography

Max Weber A Biography

A founder of contemporary social science Max Weber was born in Germany in 1864. At his death 56 years later he was nationally known for his scholarly and political writings but it was the international reception of his oeuvre over the last forty years that has made him world-famous. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism The Economic Ethics of the World Religions and his magnum opus Economy and Society with its treatment of the relations of economics politics law and religion belong to the great achievements of 20th-century social science. The groundwork for the posthumous Weber reception was laid by Weber's widow Marianne a well-known feminist writer who followed up her edition of his collected works with one of the greatest biographies in a generation that produced many important accounts of itself. Although unavailable in English until a decade ago the importance of Marianne Weber's 1926 work had been widely understood. Sociologist Robert A. Nisbet called it a moving and deeply felt biographical memoir. Historian Gerhard Masur cited the book as the foundation of all further inquiries into Max Weber's life and influence. Beginning with Max's ancestry and early years Marianne Weber guides us through his life as student young lawyer scholar and political writer quoting liberally from his voluminous correspondence. Her account of his nervous breakdown after 1897 which curtailed his academic career but ultimately strengthened his creative energies provides deep insight into some of the personal tensions that troubled him to the end. In addition to her perceptive personal and intellectual life before the First World War describing many scholars social reformers politicians and literary figures within and beyond the famous Heidelberg circle of the Webers. The new introduction by Guenther Roth situates Marianne Weber's own role in the contemporary setting and discusses the current state of Weber research and of the international Weber reception. | Max Weber A Biography

Swords Into Dow Shares Governing The Decline Of The Military- Industrial Complex

Swords Into Dow Shares Governing The Decline Of The Military- Industrial Complex

Contemporary legal doctrine holds that corporate managers have obligations first and foremost to maximize profits for their shareholders. This doctrine is based on the assumption that shareholders alone bear the financial risks and contribute the equity necessary for production. But what if other groups contribute assets and also risk losing their investments? What if other groups actually shelter shareholders from financial risks? Such is the case with the nation's prime defense contractors. By examining the case of defense contracting where the federal government and indirectly the taxpayers assume most of the risks and costs of producing weaponry Rachel Weber critiques the assumptions underlying our system of corporate governance. The Department of Defense provides contracts for billions of dollars specialized components and facilities interest subsidies tax breaks and regulatory relief. These public contributions make the record shareholder returns and executive compensation packages of the early 1990s all the more problematic. This book follows the case of General Dynamics the nation's largest military shipbuilder and considered a trendsetter in the industry for its explicit shareholder orientation. The behavior of contractors like General Dynamics in the post-Cold War period raises serious concerns about the private stewardship of public funds. How can the government make contractors accountable to other public interests? In Swords into Dow Shares Rachel Weber offers some original suggestions for redirecting defense resources to foster innovation decrease the tax burden of military spending and help to retain and create high-wage jobs in a civilian-industrial economy. | Swords Into Dow Shares Governing The Decline Of The Military- Industrial Complex

Social Disciplining and Civilising Processes in China The Politics of Morality and the Morality of Politics

Social Disciplining and Civilising Processes in China The Politics of Morality and the Morality of Politics

This book argues that a major part of the Chinese government’s road map formulated in 2017 to modernise China comprehensively by 2049 is the process of social disciplining. It contends that the Chinese state sees that modernisation and modernity encompass not only economic and political–administrative change but are also related to the organisation of society in general and the disciplining of this society and its individuals to create people with “modernised” minds and behaviour; and that moreover the Chinese state is aspiring to a modernity with “Chinese characteristics”. The question of modernising by disciplining was extensively dealt with in the twentieth century by leading Western social scientists including Max Weber Norbert Elias and Michel Foucault who argued that disciplining extending from external coercion towards the internalisation of restraints is indispensable for achieving social order and thereby for “civilisation” –but defined from a European perspective in relation to developments in Europe. This book therefore not only discusses the Chinese experience of social disciplining but also by looking at a non-Western society identifies universal tendencies of societal change and social disciplining and separates them from particular occurrences. | Social Disciplining and Civilising Processes in China The Politics of Morality and the Morality of Politics
