Max Weber was a German sociologist, political economist, and one of the founding figures of modern sociology, best known for his work on the relationship between religion and capitalism. He was born on April 21, 1864 in Erfurt, Prussia [Germany] and died on June 14, 1920 in Munich, Germany. He was best known for his thesis of the “Protestant Ethic,” relating Protestantism to Capitalism, and for his ideas on bureaucracy, and social stratification. He introduced the concept of "Rationalization," which refers to the process by which traditional modes of thinking are replaced by a focus on efficiency and logic in modern society.
