| - | '''''Politics as a Vocation''''' (''Politik als Beruf'') is an essay by German economist and sociologist [[Max Weber]] (1864–1920). It originated in the second lecture of a series (the first was ''[[Science as a Vocation]]'') he gave in [[Munich]] to the "Free (i.e. Non-[[Studentenverbindung|incorporated]]) Students Union" of [[Bavaria]] on 28 January 1919. This happened during the [[German Revolution of 1918–19|German Revolution]] when Munich itself was briefly the capital of the Bavarian Socialist Republic. Weber gave the speech based on handwritten notes which were transcribed by a stenographer. The essay was published in an extended version in July 1919, and translated into English only after World War II. The essay is today regarded as a classic work of [[political science]] and [[sociology]]. | + | The '''three-component theory of stratification''', more widely known as '''Weberian stratification''' or the '''three class system''', was developed by German [[Sociology|sociologist]] [[Max Weber]] with [[social class|class]], [[Social status|status]] and [[Political party|power]] as distinct ideal types. Weber developed a multidimensional approach to [[social stratification]] that reflects the interplay among wealth, prestige and power. |

| - | In the final section, of "Politics as a Vocation", Weber returns to the description of the politician. His main point is that the politician needs to balance an “Ethic of Moral Conviction,” with an “Ethic of Responsibility.” The Ethic of Moral Conviction refers to the core unshakeable beliefs that a politician must hold. The Ethic of Responsibility refers to the day-to-day need to use the means of the state’s violence in a fashion which preserves the peace for the greater good. A politician, Weber writes, must make compromises between these two ethics. | + | |

The three-component theory of stratification, more widely known as Weberian stratification or the three class system, was developed by German sociologist Max Weber with class, status and power as distinct ideal types. Weber developed a multidimensional approach to social stratification that reflects the interplay among wealth, prestige and power.
- Weber argued that power can take a variety of forms. A person's power can be shown in the social order through their status, in the economic order through their class, and in the political order through their party. Thus, class, status and party are each aspects of the distribution of power within a community.
