What did Max Weber believe to be the only way to cope with the administrative needs of large social systems?

bureaucracy

Explanation:

Max Weber argued in favour of bureaucracies as the most efficient and rational means by which human activity could be organized and that this very rationalized process and organized hierarchy would be necessary for keeping things in order. Bureaucracies would then maximize efficiency, and eliminate favouritism among individuals.

He then advocates for bureucracies to have strict rules since he believes they would improve the efficiency of the organizations and in turn cope with administrative needs of the society.

However, Max Weber also notes, that bureaucrats should stay out of the political realm and limit only to the impartial administration of his business since he should rather follow his sense of duty than his personal opinions.
