Max Weber (1864 - 1920) was the most prominent German sociologist, the founder of sociology as a science about society, still influencing its development.
Why are some countries richer and others poorer?
Why did Catholic countries, despite accumulating colossal wealth, stop being the engines of history after the 16th-century Reformation?
And how did the religious teachings of Protestants, in which asceticism was peculiarly combined with wealth, influence this?
Max Weber answers these questions in his seminal and most cited work 'The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism'.
The author shows us the relationship between Protestant religious values and the 'spirit of capitalism', asserting that in countries where such values dominated, the development of capitalism occurred faster and easier.
