Summary/Abstract: In this text I discuss about contribution of Max Weber’s sociology relate to the area of policy action and economy. In addition to the analysis of capitalism which embodies Webers ideal-type constructions such as bureaucracy, authority and power, process of rationalisation and forms of social action but also an essential part of his sociology are concepts of social action and social order. Every aspect mentioned in the text is an important part of the basic dynamism in society on a higher level. Weber observed society in its entirety through institucional structure and processes which take place within the same society also considering their historical framwork. Successful prediction of the future society developments are a verification of sociologis quality which Weber certainly deserved.
