===================== HES POSTING ===================== [Note from the moderator: Please reply in a private message to [log in to unmask] --E-MS] 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.
