about Max WeberPlease Note that Monday, October 14th, is Thanksgiving Day. The University is closed. There will be no formal virtual class in the LearnLink chat room on this day. However, this does not prevent electronic communications at other times during the week. We will discuss in class the selection of one or two other time slots during this week for a virtual class meeting. This is the advantage of virtual classes - we are not restricted by time and place. For those students without an independent access to the network, arrangements will be made for access in KTH-lab.
Max Weber emphasized the economic aspects of class (as did Marx), but also developed a theory of status and power. Frank Parkin developed a theory of social closure based on Weber.
