#MaxWeber

“Weber showed that our world of offices, schedules, metrics, and careers is not neutral background — it is a specific historical creation, astonishingly efficient and quietly imprisoning, and once you see it you cannot unsee it.”

“The modern world is the product of relentless rationalization — calculation, rules, and efficiency conquering every corner of life — and it has bought us unprecedented power at the price of disenchantment, leaving each of us to choose our values in a world that can no longer choose them for us.”
