The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
Max Weber, Talcott ParsonsPaperback 2003-04-04
Publisher Description
This brilliant study opposes the Marxist concept of dialectical materialism and its view that change takes place through the conflict of opposites. Instead, Weber relates the rise of a capitalist economy to the Puritan determination to work out anxiety over salvation or damnation by performing good deeds - an effort that ultimately encouraged capitalism.
