FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This volume examines Max Webers pre-World War I thinking about bureaucracy. It suggests that Webers vision shares common components with the highly efficient Prussian General Staff military bureaucracy developed by Clausewitz and Helmuth von Moltke. Weber did not believe that Germanys other major institutions, the Civil Service, industry, or the army could deliver world class performances since he believed that they pursued narrow, selfish interests. However, following Webers death in 1920, the model published by his wife Marianne contained none of the military material about which Weber had written approvingly in the early chapters of Economy and Society.
