Wolfgang J. Mommsen is one of the foremost Weberian scholars
writing today. In this volume, a sequel to his monumental study
Max Weber and German Politics , he provides succinct and
incisive statements on current developments in the analysis of
Weber's work.
The book concentrates upon Weber's engagement with political issues and their influence over his more theoretical concepts. Mommsen offers a critical analysis of Weber's notion of democracy and provides a thorough assessment of Weber's views of socialism against the backcloth of German Social Democracy.
