This is a translation from German of Max Weber’s chapter “Class, Status, Party” from his masterwork Economy and Society (Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft). This chapter was probably written before World War I. Two German versions of Economy and Society have been published. In 1921, the chapter was published as part of a compilation edited by Marianne Weber. A second compilation of Economy and Society was first published in German by Johannes Winckelmann beginning in 1956. For more details see Waters and Waters 2010.
