Opis

This unique study into the roots of Max Weber's Political Economy, is an intriguing read. Parsons argues that Weber's analysis is highly influenced by the Austrian School of Economics and the relationship between his critique of centrally planned economies and that of Mises. This book is an interesting and valuable contribution to the Weberian literature.
