R. H. Tawney: Religion and the rise of capitalism, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Religion and the Rise of Capitalism by R. H. Tawney explores the powerful relationship between religious beliefs, social values, and the development of modern capitalism. Tawney examines how medieval Christian ideals concerning wealth, work, and economic justice gradually changed during the Protestant Reformation and the rise of individualism. He particularly explores the influence of Puritanism on attitudes toward business, profit, discipline, and material success. Combining history, economics, and religious thought, Tawney offers a compelling analysis of how moral and spiritual values shaped economic institutions. This influential classic remains essential reading for understanding capitalism, religion, social change, and the historical foundations of modern economic society.
