Embattled Reason constitutes an intellectual profile of one of America's preeminent sociologists. This collection of essays, published over the course of thirty years, embodies a series of intellectual choices in response to current concerns and to debates of the past, affording a coherent and unified view of Bendix's work as a whole.

Inequality and Social Structure: A Comparison of Marx and Weber
This chapter originated in the request of two colleagues who asked the author in the late 1960s to write an introduction to the study of inequality. Their request was based on his interest in problems of social stratification, starting with the reader Class, Status and Power , edited together with Seymour Martin Lipset, and including a jointly researched book Social Mobility in Industrial Society (1959). Inequalities arising from class difference…

The Bureaucratization of Economic Enterprises
This chapter examines the legitimation of authority in economic enterprises as well as the ideologies of protest on the part of the emerging industrial work force. A study of the ideologies of management is not concerned with the origin of the capitalist spirit; it is concerned rather with the ideological weapons employed in the struggle for or against industrialization. The problems of labor management have come to the fore, wherever the organiz…
Entrepreneurial Ideologies in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Russia
Industrialization was initiated during the seventeenth century on the basis of extensive privileges and subsidies which the Tsar granted to foreign merchants and native entrepreneurs. During the sixteenth century, the use of land grants for building up the Tsar’s military forces had become extensive; but as more land became available for cultivation, more opportunities arose for the peasants to move to the new land, especially in the areas adjace…
Managerial Ideologies in the Russian Orbit
This chapter examines the managerial ideologies within the Russian orbit, the problems have been dealing with will appear in a new light. A central tenet of Marxism is the edict that a labor movement will become the organized, political arm of the working class. While Marx differentiated between the leaders and the masses primarily on intellectual grounds, Lenin provided an organizational rationale. In modern capitalist economies the firm is the …
Conclusion: Industrialization, Ideologies, and Social Structure
This chapter summarizes the changes of ideology that have occurred in Anglo-American and in Russian civilization over a two-hundred year period. It deals with the historical significance of ideologies of management. The chapter explores the theoretical implications of a study that treats such ideologies as an index of social structure. It turns to the problem of bureaucratization and to the difference between totalitarian and non-totalitarian for…
The American Experience
In the period from 1880 to 1910 the United States underwent the most rapid economic expansion of any industrialized country for a comparable period of time. In the United States, workers began to organize on a mass basis only in the 1890’s, hampered as they were by the willingness of immigrants to work at lower wages. Social reform with regard to factory conditions did not begin in earnest until after the turn of the century. American businessmen…
Industrialization, Management, and Ideological Appeals
This chapter deals with the role of ideas in the management of economic enterprises. It explores the ideas and interests of the few who have managed the work force of industrial and business enterprises since the Industrial Revolution. Industrialization has been defended in terms of the claim that the few will lead as well as benefit the many. In Soviet Russia industrialization has been advanced by ideologies of management, which originated as a …
Entrepreneurial Ideologies in the Early Phase of Industrialization: The Case of England
During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries industrial entrepreneurs in England were struggling for recognition in a relatively hostile environment. The industrialization of England during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries coincided with a rapid increase in population. The rising entrepreneurial class, however, was also confronted with a widespread acceptance of traditional modes of thought among the opinion leaders…

Nation-Building & Citizenship: Studies of Our Changing Social Order
Nation-Building and Citizenship examines how states and civil societies interact in their formation of a new political community. Reinhard Bendix directs our attention to relations established between individual and state during nation-building. While the development of citizenship and the interplay between tradition and modernity are important in this process of social and political change, his key theme is the examination of authority patterns.…

Work and Authority in Industry: Managerial Ideologies in the Course of Industrialization
Work and Authority in Industry analyzes how the entrepreneurial class responded to the challenge of creating, and later managing, an industrial work force in widely differing types of industrial societies: the United States, England, and Russia. Bendix's penetrating re-examination of an aspect of economic history largely taken for granted was first published in 1965. It has become a classic. His central notion, that the behavior of the capitalist…
Staat, Legitimierung, “Zivilgesellschaft”
In Pursuit of the Great Questions of History: Reinhard Bendix and American Sociology
States and Collective Action: The European Experience.
It has become something of an orthodoxy of contemporary sociology that modern democratic industrial societies are essentially alike, and that they are confronted by uniform challenges, whether industrial (strikes and demonstrations), social (the 'crisis of the welfare state'), or political. In this important collection of studies Professor Birnbaum asserts, however, that the very existence of differentiation, challenge such a hypothesis. Linking …
"State, Legitimation and "Civil Society
The concept “civil society” has become a polemical slogan opposed to Communist Party “dictatorship.” Anglo-American in origin, this concept has been translated into German as Zivilgesellschaft and should not be confused with bürger-liche Gesellschaft. The following attempts a conceptual clarification for an easier grasp of contemporary developments, with special emphasis on Germany. “Civil society” is usually brought into relation with the state,…

Kings or People: Power and the Mandate to Rule
From the Preface: The world in which we live has its roots far back in history, and as a world power America must come to terms with countries which were formed in their present mold long before the American, revolution. All those to whom an exploration of this historical background will appeal probably share with me an immediate empathy with the anguish of nation-building around the world. This book is a study of what that anguish meant in times…
Tradition and Modernity Reconsidered
Modernization is a term which became fashionable after World War II. It is useful despite its vagueness because it tends to evoke similar associations in contemporary readers. Their first impulse may be to think of 'the modern' in terms of present-day technology with its jet-travel, space exploration, and nuclear power. But the common sense of the word 'modern' encompasses the whole era since the eighteenth century when inventions like the steam …
Concepts and Generalizations in Comparative Sociological Studies
Comparative sociological studies attempt to develop concepts and generalizations at a level between pure theory and descriptive area studies. They help to elucidate the time-andspace limitations of sociological concepts that have less than universal applicability and to uncover the generalizations hidden in many composite concepts. Positively, they can help us develop typologies of social actions and structures and assess their characteristic ran…

Social Mobility in Industrial Society
"Where else but in America," captains of industry are fond of saying, "could a penniless immigrant like Andrew Carnegie achieve so much?" "Any place else that has reached the same stage of industrial development," is the answer implicit in Social Mobility. The authors conclude, somewhat surprisingly, that is not noticeably easier to pull oneself up by the bootstraps in the "Land of Opportunity" than it is in a number of other countries. The very …

Bureaucracy: The Problem and Its Setting
Social Stratification and Political Power
Contemporary studies of political power have often been based on the belief that the major determinants in the struggle for power may be ascertained by analyzing the social stratification of a society. This belief is supported by the following series of more or less tacit assumptions: The ideas and actions of men are conditioned by their social and economic position in society. When large number of individuals occupy a comparable social position,…

Max Weber's Interpretation of Conduct and History
The problem of the basis unit of sociological is discussed with reference to the relation of method and meaning in history. Max Weber's theory and method raise certain questions which have a bearing on this problem. The discussion deals with Weber's interpretation of the "social" in its relation to his view of historical causation. It deals, further, with his method of historical inquiry, his view of the relation between history and sociology, an…
