Die Wiederbelebung der historisch-vergleichenden Soziologie in den vergan genen Jahrzehnten wurde nur indirekt von Max Weber beeinflusst, obwohl er eine empirisch fundierte, vergleichende und historische Soziologie von uni versaler Breite und Tiefe geschaffen hat.

The ongoing "crisis of American democracy" debate is the topic of this new book. By referring to Weber's long-term perspective, it provides rich new insights-and some reasons for optimism. It also offers powerful explanations for the particular contours of today's American political culture. Kalberg draws upon Weber to reconstruct political culture in ways that define America's unique spirit of democracy. Developing several Weber-inspired models, the author reveals patterns of oscillation in American history. Can these pendulum movements sustain today the symbiotic dualism that earlier...

Seine elfwochige Amerikareise im Jahr 1904 hinterlie bei ihm einen unausloschlichen Eindruck und regte ihn bis zu seinem Tod zu einem weitgestreuten Spektrum von Themen an. In diesem Band wird...
