WEBER, Max.

Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. [Grundriss der Sozialökonomik III. Abteilung].

Tübingen, J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), 1922. Square 8vo, pp. x, [2], 840; ownership inscription onthe title-page; a few pencil annotations and marks in margins; some light foxing, otherwise a good copy in contemporary blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt (‘G. D. S. III’), faded. First edition, published as volume III of the Grundiss der Sozialökonomik. ‘Although it remained unfinished, Weber’s Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ranks among the classics of modern social science. Its influence stems from its wealth of concepts, formulated on the basis of a wide range of comparative historical materials. These concepts have often since been used in an ahistorical manner, but this was not Weber’s purpose. Rather than formulate a theoretical system of his own, he tried to provide a more secure foundation for sociology and history by specifying the meaning of ideas and concepts that were widely used at the time’ (IESS).IESS (1922a).
