Max Weber's Theory of Mannerbund

Considering that Max Weber's theory of the,men's union (Mannerbund)" is still unsurpassed today, despite the fact that it was not syst ematically developed anywhere, the authors undertook its reconstruction from the many fragments left behind after his death, primarily in the book Economy and Society. Although Weber is rightly considered to have paid the most attention to the phenomenon of warrior communism in his discussions of the Mannerbund, a detailed analysis shows that his dealings with the warrior orgy and the warrior cult are equally important contributions.
