Sociological Thought
notes every religion, and then proved the effect on believing people of economic and sociological structure of
that special religion of these conduct. In this subject the important and normal result of Max Weber to
see in famous composition “the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism”. In this you represent
the detailed form the relation of Protestant religion and capitalism. According to you there is some
such specialty in Protestant religion which is helpful to generate the arrangement economic rules which
called capitalism; and it was Protestant which proved a positive inspiration in the development of a
capitalism economy. But it does not mean that Protestant religion is an only element. Weber always
forced one thing that many mutually Free states were necessary for the development of modern
capitalism. But you say very certainty and persistence that Protestant element was a necessary element
and without it the development of capitalism would be totally different.
To prove the above relation of Protestant religion and capitalism Weber selected both ‘Ideal Format’.
The specific symptoms of modern capitalism—business, economics are operated and collected with
prudent manner on the bases of scientific in this economy; self-property is the important part of all
arrangement; the work of production is perform by machine with the help of more people in factory
and big mills; and by this collected sells arrangement done of productive things; for more perfection
more forces on specialization and division of labour; and main aim is earn more profit. In capitalism
work is life efficiency is capital. Every people have to do work with more passion and most skills.
There is more risk in this arrangement. So in people should be self-confidence, devotion of duty and
honesty on their business. It is calling ‘Commercial Conduct’. People who are expert in their business
and work them got money and values; and which have less expertness they deprived both money
and value. In capitalism which is old and less specialist, declining is sure. Briefly it is the important
element of capitalism.

But there is question that what is that power who makes this economic arrangement possible and keep
it fix? According to Weber that power is the economic conduct of Protestant religion. For keeping the
economic arrangement which conduct is necessary by people related to them people find the many
preaching by the sociological leader affected by Protestant religion. Example- benjamin franklin who
is consider the first exponent of the original principle of the modern capitalism, in their autobiography
you gave more preaching to people which want to become successful and rich in business. These
preaching are affected by Protestant conduct and much similar to them. Some preaching are following-
‘time is money’, ‘money earn from money’, ‘A penny saved is a penny earn’, ‘honesty is the best
policy’, early sleeping and early get up make people healthy, rich and wise. If we attention on mood
behind these all preaching then we will find clearly that these all instruction more forced on a special
thing and it is that ‘ doing work is the main quality’ and by this we should be such wise that we have
to hard labour and earned money so we can become more rich and healthy. Without these principles
and affection modern capitalism is never possible. This basis principle, like it will clear by following
deliberation, got people from Protestant religion. The affect of the conduct of Protestant religion in
development of capitalism is following.
1. first, ‘Doing work is the main quality’, it is Protestant conduct. In Papist conduct there are
not find any these type idea. A popular sonnet in Papist religion is proving clearly this thing.
The sonnet is that Adam and Eve eaten the fruit of good and bad knowledge tree in heaven;
