~ 1864 - 1920
Max Weber was a German sociologist, political economist, and philosopher, born on April 21, 1864, and died on June 14, 1920. He is best known for his contributions to the fields of sociology and political theory, particularly for his analysis of the relationship between religion and economics, as well as his concepts of bureaucracy and authority. Weber's most influential work, "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," explores how Protestant ethics shaped modern capitalism.
