«La ética protestante y el espíritu del capitalismo» is Max Weber's essay on sociology and economics, published by Orbis in hardcover (262 pages, in Spanish).
Weber analyzes how the ethic of ascetic Protestantism, especially the idea of vocation and the valuation of work, drove the development of modern capitalism. The work examines the connection between religious doctrines and the formation of an economic mentality that favored accumulation and the rationalization of social life.

A reference work for those interested in sociology, economic history and philosophy, and in the classics of social thought.
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.
