In this accessible and engaging work, Kalberg shows how Weber's work casts a direct light upon issues of pressing importance for comparative-historical research today addressing in a forceful way the whole range of problems and dilemmas confronted by the comparative-historical enterprise.
'With this work, Stephen Kalberg confirms his place in the first rank of Weber scholars today ... Kalberg makes a powerful argument that Weber's multi-causal analysis is still at the head of the pack.' Professor Randall Collins
'... A significant and scholarly contribution to the recent renaissance of interest in Weberian sociology ... which is set within the context of macro-civilisational analysis ... Kalberg's book can be recommended as a major contribution to contemporary interpretations of Weber's contribution to historical sociology. It fills an obvious gap in the literature on Weberian sociology.' The Sociological Review
'... This is in many ways a pathbreaking work.' T. Mulhall, London School of Economics
