The theme of this part in gEconomy and Society,h which is concerned about the law and the economy, is the relationship between the rule of the law and the market economy in the modern capitalism. The rule of law is one of the fundamental juristic disciplines and seems to have nothing to do with the economy. At least, the jurists think so. This book tries to show it as the particular phenomenon in the modern capitalism and both compensates one another.
The example designated by Weber is the impartiality of this rule. It fits the need of the market of the labor. The important factor for the modern capitalism is nothing but the ability to work, so that other elements should be ignored under the conditions of the contrast. The character of its impersonality matches the impartiality of that rule. The law and the economy are shown to have some relationship in such a way.
The hidden focus, however, is the first paragraph. He writes his approach to this problem there. He defines his method to solve this problem delicately and chiefly. He states what relations the order of the law has with one of the economy. He never tells the law and the economy, but their orders. This subtle revision of the Marxfs thesis of gSeinsverbundenheit (the situational determination)h will produce the great difference at the result of the analysis.
Thus, this part may be most interesting and important in both its content and its method.

Only for specialists...

If you do not own Economy and Society, and you are merely looking for Weber's discussion of law, then this book is for you. However, much of it is repetitious when compared to his entire body of work. The general theoretical elements present in his discussion of religion, power and authority, social action, and economy are present here as well...but with a focus on the legal sphere. It is worth it if you are a grad. student interested in law, institutions, or Max Weber, a undergrad. with an atypical desire to learn something intense, or the passionate individual interested in understanding the various types of law that have existed throughout time, and the causes and consequences for their existence.
