Max Weber

Max Weber was a German sociologist and political economist born on April 21, 1864, in Erfurt, Prussia, and died on June 14, 1920, in Munich, Germany. He is best known for his thesis on the 'Protestant ethic,' which links Protestant values to the rise of capitalism, and for his foundational ideas on bureaucracy and modern social science[1][3]. Weber is considered one of the three founding architects of sociology, alongside Karl Marx and Émile Durkheim[3][10].
