Unit-21: Analysis of Modern Capitalism, Protestant Ethics and Origin of Capitalism

in punishment of this crime God boycotted both of them from heaven and punished that from notes
now Eve and their girls will give birth of children and Adam and their sons will earn money
with labour. So it is clear that labour is not the quality it is a punishment in Papist conduct.
Apposite that the work is the conduct of such action in Protestant conduct which is legal and
work should be doing for work. ‘Deed is worship’ or ‘God find out by hard work’. These
conducts are the Protestant conduct, and their big gift in the development of capitalism.
2. The second gift of protestant which proved helpful in development of capitalism is
‘commercial conduct’. It is related with those believe which is call as “Kelvinwaad” and
according to it every soul goes in either heaven or hell after the death of person, and any work
cannot change their work in the life period of person. But in their life period some qualities
are manifest which already signal to them that their soul is going to heaven or hell? If any
person gets more success in their work and business then it signals that their soul will go in
heaven. By the median of this believe on every person is put off as moral pressure that he
would be hard work in their profession and business and exercise loyalty for it. So he can get
more success. It is the properties of god desire to being perform their work successfully. Only
pilgrimage or church does not discharge. Discharge can get by the proper and honest work.
A person follows their rules not only in church it possible in markets also. This protestant
conduct is prove more helpful in the development of capitalism because the success and
development of capitalism is dependent in only this thing that every person perform work
in the field of their business with more passion and loyalty.
3. The third gift of Protestant religion to capitalism is that there are a permission of collected
the interest on borrow with in this religion. As already said, according to Benjamin Franklin,
‘money is earns from money’. It’s clear mean that investor is earn appropriate money, in
this interest is also involved. To take interest in Catholic religion is bad’ apposite it, there
are permission to take interest in Protestant religion. Therefore, money can be used without
any fear from God and can be used for accumulation of interest. These all things are proved
helpful in the development of capitalism.
4. The fourth gift in the development of capitalism in Protestant conduct that this religion
told bad intemperance and provide high level to honesty. According the result of his
religious conduct decrease the laziness in people and their skills is increase. The restriction
on intemperance is more in capitalism economic arrangement because within people work
in machine. One can plough after been drunk, can bear cattle but operating a machine is
difficult and even in doing so there is a risk of life.
5. The last affect in the development of capitalism in protestant conduct that they are not in
favour of more leave like Catholic Conduct.

Did You Know? Deed is worship for Protestant. For the success of capitalism arrangement
more work and less leave is important.

By this it is clear that protestant religion and their economic religion are those impotent powers which
are main element in the development of capitalism, but it is already said, it does not mean that protestant
conduct is only element in the development of capitalism. And the addition of many elements will be
in this side. In this mean max Weber cannot consider a single function he is multi-function.
Weber present many historical prove for clear the relation among capitalism conduct and protestant
conduct. You show that the great development capitalism occurred in England, America, and Haland
like countries where the people are the follower of Protestant religion. Apposite it the people of Italy,
