Max Weber 

Max Weber is a lawyer, but he is considered with a father of sociology, he is specialist in the history, economic, religious, science politic, law and sociology. He born in the Germany in the 1864 and died in the 1924, study law in the university of Heidelberg, enter in 1882, but read principally sociology with cause the history, leaving a method sociology, very influential until these days. Also is important that designate a your sociology like comparative. 

Your book more important is the ethic protestant and the spirit the capitalism, where the mix the religious, the sociology and the history, also Economic and Society, where include sociology, Economic and science politic. He is a scientist social, with orientation until liberalism politic and economic. He is against the theory of Marx and the theory of the positivist thorough for Comte and Durkheim. 

I like this author because your definition until to concept with state, politic, society and capitalism are validate yet. And your method the mix the social science is innovative for these days, as wells as origin the capitalism is for me, the way more correct explain.
