Synopsis:
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.
Review: ..".a brilliant study of the psychological conditions which made possible the development of capitalist civilization."
