Charisma and Patronage - Reasoning With Max Weber

Informationen zum Autor Andrew D. McCulloch is Visiting Senior Fellow in Research and Social Theory at the University of Lincoln, UK. Klappentext A detailed and richly illustrated analysis of charisma and the political and cultural conditions in which charismatic figures arise, this work of historical sociology critically engages with Max Weber's ambiguous concept of charisma to examine the charismatic careers of a number of figures, including Joan of Arc, Hitler, Nelson Mandela and Jesus. With close attention to the social and political legacy of charisma for modern capitalism, it also examines the emergence of a global class of the super-rich, a process buttressed by a belief on the part of business leaders in their own charismatic powers.
