Max Weber

Max Weber appears in vol.123.特朗普的“对等”关税案：不止是一场大型服从性测试 through the episode’s discussion of Patrimonial Governance. The source uses Weber’s distinction between rational-legal bureaucracy and patrimonial rule to describe a governing style where institutions are treated as personal extensions of the ruler.

The page is source-scoped: the wiki is not summarizing Weber’s full sociology, only preserving the concept needed for the episode’s Trump 2.0 governance branch.
