In this brilliant study (his best-known and most controversial), he opposes the Marxist concept of dialectical materialism and its view that change takes place through \"the struggle of opposites.\" Instead, he relates the rise of a capitalist economy to the Puritan determination to work out anxiety over salvation or damnation by performing good deeds -- an effort that ultimately discouraged belief in predestination and encouraged capitalism. Weber's classic study has long been required reading in college and advanced high school social studies classrooms.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Gore Bike Wear","offers":[{"title":"Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism | Max Weber | Paperback | 9780486427034 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788764","offer_id":50931006308610,"sku":"1788764","price":23.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/816uAytlVLL.jpg?v=1793498067","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/protestant-ethic-and-the-spirit-of-capitalism-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
