Problem
Weber has been accused by some as being an enemy of capitalism and by others as being an apologist for capitalism's repressive tendencies. It is likely that this confusion results from the fact that what Weber saw as the greatest advantage of the capitalist economy, he also saw as its greatest disadvantage. Specifically, what was the greatest advantage of capitalism according to Weber, and how was this also capitalism's greatest disadvantage? From Weber's point of view, can this system realistically be changed to overcome its disadvantage?
