Max Weber on Bureaucracy - Dictionary of Arguments

Habermas IV 432
Bureaucracy/Weber/Habermas: Max Weber's thesis of bureaucratization: In modern times, bureaucratization is increasing.
Habermas IV 453
Bureaucratization is a key phenomenon for Weber in understanding modern societies. These are characterised by a new type of organisation: economic production becomes capitalist with the help of rationally calculating entrepreneurs, public administration becomes bureaucratic with the help of legally trained specialist officials, both are thus organised through an operational basis or in the form of an institution.
>Organization
, >Society.
The material resources are concentrated in the hands of owners or leaders, while membership in the organization is made independent of attributed characteristics. This gives organisations a high degree of internal flexibility and external autonomy. As a result of their efficiency, such forms are also becoming established in other action systems, so that modern societies (...) offer the image of an "organisational society".
>Organization/Weber.
