Max Weber on Power and Social Stratification: An Interpretation and Critique - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This volume revolves around the textual analysis of the Weberian thesis that "classes, status groups and parties are phenomena of the distribution of power within a community". An internal reconstruction of Weber's own ideas on what is called social stratification in contemporary sociological discourse is undertaken. The reason for this reconstruction inheres in the fact that Weber's thought (especially, in the field of social stratification) has been modified and misappropriated to such an extent that Weber himself is usually lost in the commentaries. Moreover, this reconstruction is a single account teasing out the analytic structure underlying Weber's statements on the nature of social inequality in various societies.
