]]> Max Weber’s “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” was a work that presented an interesting association between the emergence of capitalism and certain behaviours derived from the Protestant religion. Since the Lutheran and Calvinist reforms, there was an attempt to return to a biblical basis by emphasising certain aspects relating to the honour of the worker/saviour. The Calvinist confession insisted that God’s approval of the individual depended on his or her business fortune, which created a need for the faithful to improve their economic situation. The emergence of Amsterdam in the 17th century and London in the 18th century as the economic capitals of the world gradually shifted the world’s economic strength to the northern Protestant axis. Such analogies convinced Max Weber that Protestantism had been the prelude to capitalism.
