Product Description

Protestantism and Capitalism: The Weber Thesis and Its Critics is a non-fiction book written by Max Weber. The book explores the relationship between Protestantism and capitalism, focusing on Weber's thesis that the Protestant work ethic was a driving force behind the rise of capitalism in the Western world. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part provides an overview of Weber's thesis and its historical context. Weber argues that the Protestant work ethic, which emphasizes hard work, frugality, and self-discipline, created a culture of entrepreneurship that was essential to the development of capitalism. He also explores the role of religion in shaping economic behavior and the impact of Protestantism on the rise of capitalism in Europe and America.The second part of the book examines the criticisms of Weber's thesis. The author considers various objections to Weber's argument, including the role of other factors such as geography, politics, and culture in the rise of capitalism. He also explores the influence of other religions, such as Catholicism and Judaism, on economic behavior and the development of capitalism.Overall, Protestantism and Capitalism: The Weber Thesis and Its Critics is a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between religion and economics. It provides a nuanced perspective on the role of Protestantism in the rise of capitalism and considers the various criticisms of Weber's argument. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of economics, religion, and culture.Problems In European Civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
