Why does Weber argue that economic power (social class) is not the only source of power in society? Provide an example of an alternative means of the distribution of power in society other than economic power, using Weber’s concepts in the reading “Class, Status and Party”, related to the distribution of power in society.Weber describes three types of legitimate authority. The U.S. political system is best characterized as based on rational legal authority- power is derived from a system of rules governing positions. However, there may be elements of other types of authority (traditional and charismatic) involved which can create controversy. How might the mixing of other types of authority create controversy in our system of government? Use contemporary examples. Make sure you describe the characteristics of the types of authority in explaining your answer.please site only this bookEdles, Laura Desfo and Scott Appelrouth.
