*Most influential works in sociology (Wikipedia)

In 1997, ISA conducted a survey of its membership to identify the 20th century's most influential books in sociology. Members were asked to name the five books that had the most influence on their own professional work. There were 455 respondents (16% of ISA's members), of whom 20.9% named Economy and Society by Max Weber, placing it first on the ISA list. The list was unveiled at the 1998 ISA congress, the organization's last major conference in the 20th century, also marking ISA's 50th anniversary. Germov and Skrbis described the list as representing "sociology as a truly international, yet Western (and masculine) discipline". The complete list of the top ten works in sociology, each of which was named by at least 5 percent of respondents, was:

  1. Max Weber, Economy and Society
  2. Charles Wright Mills, The Sociological Imagination
  3. Robert K. Merton, Social Theory and Social Structure
  4. Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
  5. Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, The Social Construction of Reality
  6. Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste
  7. Norbert Elias, The Civilizing Process
  8. Jürgen Habermas, The Theory of Communicative Action
  9. Talcott Parsons, The Structure of Social Action
  10. Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life
