Max Weber : (3)

" The so-called ‘materialistic conception of history,’ with the crude elements of genius of the early form which appeared, for instance, in the ‘Communist Manifesto,’ still prevails only in the minds of laymen and dilettantes. " - Max Weber

" Social economic problems do not exist everywhere that an economic event plays a role as cause or effect – since problems arise only where the significance of those factors is problematical and can be precisely determined only through the application of methods of social-economics. " - Max Weber

" The fully developed bureaucratic apparatus compares with other organisations exactly as does the machine with the non-mechanical modes of production. " - Max Weber
