SOCY 151: Foundations of Modern Social Theory
Lecture 17 - Conceptual Foundations of Weber's Theory of Domination. Diverging significantly from Marx's idea that history can be traced by the modes of production and the economy, Weber argues that history is characterized by different modes of authority. Leaders strive to rule in authoritative ways, they attempt to legitimate their uses of power. Weber argues that throughout history, leaders have successfully established domination in three modes of authority: traditional, charismatic, and legal-rational. (from oyc.yale.edu)
