Max Weber's Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, assembled from his manuscripts and published posthumously in 1922. Develops his tripartite typology of legitimate authority, traditional (custom and inherited status), charismatic (the extraordinary personal quality of a leader) and legal-rational (impersonal rules and offices), still a standard framework for analyzing political legitimacy.
