The Protestant Ethic and the "Spirit" of Capitalism and Other Writings

Max Weber's seminal work explores the relationship between the rise of capitalism and the Calvinist belief in hard work and worldly duties. In this collection of essays, Weber challenges Marxist notions of dialectical materialism, arguing that the Protestant ethic played a significant role in shaping modern capitalist society.

Penguin Classics presents authoritative texts with introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations. This edition brings Weber's influential ideas to readers seeking insight into the social and economic forces that have shaped our world.
