Does /lit/ like Max Weber? Better than Marx? Worse?

Why compare him to Marx at all?

I've only read the Protestant Ethic. His ideas about capitalism becoming a cage are cool and all but the rise of social and liberal institutions after the second world war sort of make the context of capitalism different from the one in his time (and also Marx and Hegel).

Although one would argue, little has changed in developing countries, but Europe and North America have seen drastic changes in worker rights since the early 1900s

enjoy your false epistemological ground.
Nonetheless Protestant Ethic is a good piece of work

Pfft, sure, and nobody's ever even heard of Robert "Iron Law of Oligarchy" Michels even though his conclusions are arguably more robust and applicable to contemporary society than either Weber or Durkheim.

Tho Weber's Protestant Ethic is a true masterpiece of historical sociology.

he criticizes materialism as the solo cause for capitalism, showing how ideal factors, like the protestant ethic, created the rational capitalist human.

I prefer Weber because his argument proves the role of the ideal on social change.

>>8012843
why would anyone like Durkheim nowadays, functionalism is dead. You clearly never read Weber on the methodology of the social sciences.

I really hope we aren't discussing "Mad" Max Weeabore the failed sociologist/"economist" with debunked ideas on individualism and
bureaucratic shill. Fucking leftist fascists.
