One great man

At first I have to refer, that for me is very difficult to write about any sociologer, because I'm just entering to the career and I haven't learned enough to choose my favorite author. But anyways, I think that maybe Max Weber is a good option to talk about. Well, Max Weber was a German man that lived in the late nineteenth century and also in the beginning of the twentieth, in a time of very quickly changes. He was very smart as a little boy, so he started writing his first essay with the short age of thirteen years; it was an analysis of the German history and the problem of this people. Since then he wrote essays until he died. At the university he studied laws, but he also learned about many themes, like politics, economy, history and philosophy. When he still was a student he began his most important and famous work, named "the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism". To write this huge essay Max Weber learned a lot of folders and books about the protestants and their ethic code, and how this ethic code was reflected intro their work. And his discovery was amazing: he revealed that the way of understanding the world of the protestants and how this interpretation influeced their work, was the main factor to established, later, the modern capitalism. With this brilliant hypothesis and his verification Max Weber became one of the founders and more important authors of the sociology, despites many people think that he was an obsessed crazy man. For me, it doesn't matter that he was a crazy man; the important thing here is that he knew how to guide his madness.
