protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism sociology

To draw readers into the material, this engaging volume includes extensive introductions by the editor, a chronology of Weber's life, a glossary, and numerous clarifying endnotes. Capturing the essence of Weber's style as well as the subtlety of his descriptions and causal arguments, this is the only translation of the revised 1920 edition of The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism published since 1930. In this volume, Stephen Kalberg revises his internationally acclaimed translation-using shorter sentences and more lucid language-to make the work even more accessible to students and other readers. Now more timely and thought provoking than ever, this esteemed classic of twentieth-century social science examines the deep cultural 'frame of mind' that existed at the birth of modern capitalism and to this day influences attitudes toward work in northern America and Western Europe. The Protestant Ethic Thesis and the Protestant Ethic Debateįor more than 100 years, Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism has set the parameters for the debate over the origins of modern capitalism.
