There is no single book that we would especially recommend as the maintext for this course, rather, we would prefer you to read as widely as possible. You shouldaim to move from introductory texts to read more advanced studies. We stronglyrecommend that you make the effort to read theorists in their own words. We shallrecommend chapters from a selection of introductory texts as required reading forseminars.

In their own words (2 items)Reading Max Weber in his own words can be an extremely challenging experience. Do notlet this put you off! When you read Weber, makes sure that you have a good commentaryto hand in order to help you make sense of the text. In this regard, the editor’sintroductions to his published works can be very useful. For this lecture I would like you tohave a go at reading The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.
