Abstract
- Max Weber's work currently forms the centre of a strategy to rebuild heterodox thought around economic sociology. The instrumentalisation of Weber is based on a lack of understanding of his response to economic theory. This article seeks to fill this gap. It will show that Weber extended Menger's work by correcting its naturalism and that his critical response rests on a Kantian approach, as explained below. It appears that a pure non-Walrasian theory is therefore possible and that the heterodox reclaiming of Weber is based on a misinterpretation of his work.
