In Seeing Ourselves, Max Weber's " The Protestant Ethic and the spirt of Capitalism";
Im having trouble understanding some of the critical thinking questions like:
1)What are the distinctive characteristics of the religious orientation that Weber called the "Protestant ethic"? In what ways did they promote the development of the capitalist economic system?
2)In what respects do early calvinists with a sense of "calling" differ from today's "workaholics"?
3)In what sense does Weber's analysis differ from the materialist orientation of Karl Marx, who suggested that productive forces shape the world ideas?
