Max Weber - Protestant ethics and the spirit of capitalism. Gift book bound in leather.

"Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism" is a book that tells how the religious teaching of Protestantism influenced the development of capitalism in the world. The book was written by Maximilian Weber, the largest German sociologist, the founder of sociology as a science.

In the book, the author answers questions about why some states are richer than others, why Catholic countries ceased to be the locomotives of history after the Reformation, and how this is related to Protestant religious values.

The author shows the relationship between Protestant teaching and the "spirit of capitalism". He argues that in those countries where Protestant values dominated, the development of capitalism was faster and easier.
