This book provides the groundwork for a general theory of modern capitalism by reinterpreting Max Weber's work on the origins and institutional underpinnings of modern capitalism, and Joseph Schumpeter's thought on the mechanisms and functioning of the capitalist economy. Focusing on the lesser known works of both figures, particularly in the case of Weber, whose writings on economics and economic history are frequently overlooked, the author contends that a combination of Schumpeter's and Weber's theoretical schemas, incorporating their many valuable insights, provides the basis of a unified, overall theory of modern capitalism that is comprehensive, coherent and persuasive.
John Love was formerly the Ashworth Lecturer in Social Theory at the University of Melbourne, Australia and he is the author of Antiquity and Capitalism: Max Weber and the Sociological Foundations of Roman Civilization (Routledge, 2005). He is currently a practising barrister in Melbourne.
