The correct answer is Max Weber

"The Protestant Ethics and The Spirit of Capitalism."

The work addresses the influences of Calvinism on modern capitalism. A short time after publication, Weber was producing works to continue this research for other strands and religions. However, he contracted a flu and died in Munich in 1920.
