Other researches contracted him to study the economic aspects of the migration, and Weber began his rise to fame as a social scientist. He became involved in politics and social action, joining the leftist Evangelical Social Congress and arguing against Polish immigration into Germany, which he believed to be motivated by the wrong ideals. Within a few years, he became a lecturer at the University of Berlin and started consulting with the German government as an economist. In 1889, Weber earned his doctorate by writing an economic history of the Middle Ages. In 1882, Weber began his secondary education, from which he graduated as a junior lawyer. Instead of doing his assignments, he read every volume of work that Goethe ever wrote, which reportedly shaped his thought for the rest of his life. Weber was intelligent beyond his years and, as a result, was bored by school. His father’s status as a public figure resulted in Weber growing up steeped in intellectual conversations about social development and politics. Max Weber was born in 1864, the oldest of seven siblings, to a wealthy civil servant and an ascetic Calvinist mother.
