At his death 56 years later, he was nationally known for his scholarly and political writings, but it was the international reception of his oeuvre over the last forty years that has made him world-famous. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, The Economic Ethics of the World Religions and his magnum opus, Economy and Society, with its treatment of the relations of economics, politics, law and religion, belong to the great achievements of 20th-century social science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe groundwork for the posthumous Weber reception was laid by Weber''s widow Marianne, a well-known feminist writer, who followed up her edition of his collected works with one of the greatest biographies in a generation that produced many important accounts of itself. Although unavailable in English until a decade ago, the importance of Marianne Weber''s 1926 work had been widely understood. Sociologist Robert A.
