Question

Protestant values such as asceticism and entrepreneurship as a result of the belief that success on earth could lead to salvation, and a fervent individualism due to the belief that only individuals could be saved lead, in the right conditions, to the rise of capitalism. Who made this argument

Answer 1

Max Weber

Step-by-step explanation:

Max Weber made this statement in his book ''The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904, 1958). the book tells the relationship between the ethics of ascetic Protestantism and the emergence of the spirit of modern capitalism while styating that modern spirit of capitalism sees profit as an end in itself, and pursuing profit as virtuous.

Max Weber was born in Efurt, Thuingin (1864) in the 19th century. He was a German sociologist who was a professor of economic law and politics as well as editor of two political magazines. He was ascetic/self-disciplined.

The Protestant Ethic shows Religion created Capitalism something from the world of ideas and culture created the economic system.
