Since we have so many Weber experts, let me pose my own question: 
 
Where did Weber first discuss his "iron cage"? 
 
I am familiar with: 
 
Weber, Max. l958. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, tr. 
Talcott Parsons (NY: Charles Scribner's Sons). 
181: "In Baxter's view, the care for external goods should only lie on 
the shoulders of the 'saint like a light cloak, which can be thrown 
aside at any moment'.  But fate decreed that the cloak should become an 
iron cage." 
 
Is there a better place to look? 
 
Thanks.
