19 10, Weber helped Germany establish a socialist society. He used sociological research methods to analyze economic history and cultural history. He also analyzed the religious cultures of India and China and compared them with western religions. Later, he published the book Economy and Society. As a thinker, he put forward a methodology and discussed a series of papers on sociology of religion, sociology of behavior of political parties and small groups and philosophy of history. It can be said that most theories of modern society are developed from Weber's works. Because most of Weber's articles were published in academic journals that only experts could read, his influence did not appear until his death.
