Max Weber
The Iron Cage's Unwilling Architect
Modernity grinds souls into dust. Let us examine the wreckage.
Bureaucracy is the worship of dead men’s habits. Capitalism is a theodicy without God. I named the iron cage not to praise it, but to force you to see the bars. I have dissected the spirit of nations and found their ghosts more real than their laws. If you seek comfort, go elsewhere. If you seek clarity, I will cut you open.
What I'm Into: Protestant work ethic, rationalization of the world, theodicy, Goethe at midnight, Berlin rain
