The precision of its definitions, the complexity of its typologies, and the wealth of its historical content make the work an important challenge to our sociological thought: for the advanced undergraduate who gropes for her sense of society, for the graduate student who must develop his own analytical skills, and for the scholar who must match wits with Weber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462874480876,"sku":"9780520280021","price":171.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520280021-economy-and-society.jpg?v=1775025087","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/economy-and-society-by-max-weber-9780520280021","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
