Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

by Max Weber

Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A brilliant book which studies the psychological conditions which made possible the development of capitalist civilization. The book analyzes the connection between the spread of Calvinism and a new attitude toward the pursuit of wealth in post-Reformation Europe and England, and attitude which permitted, encouraged–even sanctified–the human quest for prosperity.
