Weber married a distant cousin, Marianne Schnitger, in He got a job teaching economics at Freiburg University the following year, before returning to Heidelberg in as a professor.
In , Max had a falling out with his father, which went unresolved. After his father died in , Weber suffered a mental breakdown. He was plagued by depression, anxiety and insomnia, which made it impossible for him to teach. He spent the next five years in and out of sanatoriums. When Weber was finally able to resume working in , he became an editor at a prominent social science journal. In , he was invited to deliver a lecture at the Congress of Arts and Sciences in St.
Louis, Missouri and later became widely known for his famed essays, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. These essays, published in and , discussed his idea that the rise of modern capitalism was attributable to Protestantism, particularly Calvinism.
After a stint volunteering in the medical service during World War I , Weber published three more books on religion in a sociological context. These works, The Religion of China , The Religion of India and Ancient Judaism , contrasted their respective religions and cultures with that of the Western world by weighing the importance of economic and religious factors, among others, on historical outcomes.
Weber resumed teaching in He intended to publish additional volumes on Christianity and Islam, but he contracted the Spanish flu and died in Munich on June 14, Therefore Weber explains that the evidence displays a picture which is more complex and diversified in social stratification. Indeed their circumstances largely prevent them from competing in the market.
The poverty of the old, sick, handicapped and single-parent families is largely working-class poverty. Max Weber believed that bureaucratic organizations are the dominant institutions of industrial society.
He viewed the organization that has a hierarchy of reward that has full-time professionals sending lines of commands. A bureaucracy is concerned with the business of an Administration, with controlling, managing and coordinating a complex series of tasks.
Departments of State, political parties, business enterprises, the military, education and churches and all organized on bureaucratic lines. Understanding the importance of bureaucratization is very essential to understand and appreciate the modern society. He thinks bureaucracy is superior in terms of technical aspects compare to other organizations.
He also says that to functions large scale industries bureaucracy is vital as it helps them to function smoothly and in an organized matter. He also saw it has a threat to governmental powers but it can be overcome by stronger political or governmental controls. Under certain conditions that reverse can occur that is religious beliefs can be a major influence on the economic behavior. Weber looked after the relationship between the specific forms of Protestantism and the progress or development of the Western industrial capitalism.
He argues that the essence of capitalism is the pursuit of profit forever renewed profit. Weber then talks about the rise of ascetic Protestantism which he maintains preceded the development of Western capitalism. He looks at a number of Protestant religions particularly Calvinism which developed in seventeenth-century Western Europe. Weber claims that ascetic Protestantism ethic, a religiously based moral orientation towards the world, was an important factor in the development of the spirit of capitalism.
For this reason, Weber considered the iron cage a massive hindrance to freedom. Social class is a deeply important concept and phenomenon in sociology. Today, sociologists have Max Weber to thank for pointing out that one's position in society relative to others is about more than how much money one has.
He reasoned that the level of prestige associated with one's education and occupation, as well as one's political group affiliations, in addition to wealth, combine to create a hierarchy of people in society.
Weber's thoughts on power and social stratification , which he shared in his book titled Economy and Society , led to the complex formulations of socioeconomic status and social class.
It has been a mainstay of sociological study since it was first translated into English by American sociologist Talcott Parsons in This text is notable for how Weber merged economic sociology with his sociology of religion, and as such, for how he researched and theorized the interplay between the cultural realm of values and beliefs, and the economic system of society.
Weber argues in the text that capitalism developed to the advanced stage that it did in the West due to the fact that Protestantism encouraged the embrace of work as a calling from God, and consequently, a dedication to work that allowed one to earn a lot of money. This, combined with the value asceticism -- of living a simple earthly life devoid of costly pleasures -- fostered an acquisitive spirit.
Later, as the cultural force of religion declined, Weber argued that capitalism was freed from the limits placed on it by Protestant morals, and expanded as an economic system of acquisition.
