Economic Life in the Modern Age

Informationen zum Autor Werner Sombart Klappentext Werner Sombart (1863-1941) may well have been the most famous and controversial social scientist in Germany during the early twentieth century.

The editors' selection of texts emphasizes areas of Sombart's economic and cultural thought that remain relevant, particularly to those intellectual trends that seek a more broadly based, cross-disciplinary approach to culture and economics.
