This book explores the nationalist and imperialist ideas underlying Max Weber’s sociology, offering a conceptual analysis of his work to argue that Weber’s thought is informed by an ethno-national understanding of the German people whose political aspirations can only be realized through a power-state and its activities on a world stage.
