Max Weber's 'The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism' (Part 2)

In this episode, we continue our close examination of Max Weber’s famous study The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and will perhaps end up learning something about the history of Protestantism as well. Exciting stuff!

I use the following translation of the original text from 1904 and 1905 as well as the German original from the Max Weber Gesamtausgabe:

Weber, M. (2002 [1904-5]). The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and Other Writings (translated by P. Baehr & G. C. Wells). Penguin Books.
