Sociologist, historian and political economist, Max Weber is one of the most important thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His astonishing range and penetrating insights resulted in many influential books spanning religion, society, politics and economics, permanently affecting the direction of the social sciences.
General Economic History, published in 1923 shortly after Weber's death and compiled from meticulous notes taken by his students, ranks as one of his most important books and is a landmark work in the history of economic thought. From early forms of exchange in pre-capitalist households and villages, through industry and the beginnings of commerce, to the evolution of trade and money, Weber tells the epic story of the development of Western capitalism. At its heart, he argues, capitalism is driven by two immensely powerful forces: the basic, material needs that human beings seek to fulfil; and the fundamental but intangible spirit that drives entrepreneurs and sets capitalism in motion.
This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Introduction and, for the first time in English, a translation of Weber's original 'Conceptual Preface' to the German edition, both by Keith Tribe. Also included are some corrections to the main text.
