The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (Paperback)

By Max Weber, Michael D. Coe

$9.95

Usually Ships in 1-5 days

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.
