The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism is a classic work by Max Weber that explores the influence of the Protestant ethic on the development of capitalism. Weber argues that the Protestant ethic, with its emphasis on hard work, frugality, and the accumulation of wealth as signs of divine grace, created a cultural climate favorable to the emergence of capitalism. The book analyzes how the religious ideas of figures such as Calvin and Luther influenced the economy and society, laying the foundations for the modern capitalist system.
Max Weber was a Jewish-American painter and one of the first American Cubist painters who, in later life, turned to more figurative Jewish themes in his art. He is best known today for Chinese Restaurant (1915), in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, "the finest canvas of his Cubist phase," in the words of art historian Avis Berman.
