...Weber, Max ( 1864–1920 ), German sociologist. Max Weber was the author of one of the most important theses for the emergence of modern capitalism in the West, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism .

Weber's writings...

Rather, by postulating an ‘elective affinity’ between the ethic of Protestantism and the spirit of modern rational capitalism he articulated one specific link in a complex...
