“”Both the general reader and the academic researcher will find this book extremely useful”” – Professor Richard Swedberg, Cornell University, USA””The Emerald Guide to Max Weber is a major success in making the enormous range of Weber’s writings accessible to social science students and lecturers. Weber scholarship has made huge progress over recent debates, and this book is the first to deliver the deeper understanding of Weber’s importance in an accessible and clear manner. John Scott has placed the teaching and appreciate of Weber on a new footing”” – Professor Sam Whimster, Editor of Max Weber Studies””In this wide-ranging analysis, John Scott explores the core components – economics, methodology, religion, comparative history and politics – of Max Weber’s sociology. He offers a balanced assessment of the many divergent intepretations of Weber’s sociology, especially the narrow view of Weber as primarily a ‘conflict sociologist’ or as a ‘sociologist of capitalism’. Weber remains important for contemporary sociology because the breadth of his interests throws light on a range of modern social and political problems. Consequently Weber’s influence across the social sciences continues to expand. Students will find that the extensive up-to-date references and guidelines for further reading provide valuable directives for further study”” – Professor Bryan S. Turner, Australian Catholic University and Potsdam University, Germany
