Summary/Abstract: The publication in Romanian of Economy and Society. Foundations of Interpretive Sociology by Max Weber, issued by Beladi Publishing House (Craiova, 2025), represents a major editorial and scholarly event for Romanian sociology. In a contemporary academic environment increasingly shaped by bibliometric pressures and by the near-exclusive valorization of articles indexed in international databases, the initiative to translate and publish a canonical work of classical sociology may appear, at first glance, marginal or even anachronistic. In reality, it restores one of the university’s essential missions: ensuring critical and systematic access to the major theoretical constructions that underpin the social sciences.
