The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
- Max Weber
- Die protestantische Ethik und der 'Geist' des Kapitalismus, 1904
- Online version
Description: In The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Weber puts forward a thesis that Puritan ethic and ideas had influenced the development of capitalism. However religius devotion usually was accompanied by rejection of mundane affairs including economic pursuit. Why was that not the case with Protestantism? Weber addresses that paradox in that work.
