Now more timely and thought provoking than ever  this esteemed classic of twentieth-century social science examines the deep cultural \"frame of mind\" that existed at the birth of modern capitalism and to this day influences attitudes toward work in northern America and Western Europe.  In this volume  Stephen Kalberg revises his internationally acclaimed translation--using shorter sentences and more lucid language--to make the work even more accessible to students and other readers. Capturing the essence of Webers style as well as the subtlety of his descriptions and causal arguments  this is the only translation of the revised 1920 edition of The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism published since 1930.  To draw readers into the material  this engaging volume includes extensive introductions by the editor  a chronology of Webers life  a glossary  and numerous clarifying endnotes. Detailed commentaries discuss the controversies Weber addressed  explain his complex causal argument by reference to the general contours of his sociology  summarize the history of \"the Protestant Ethic debate \" and examine the significance of \"the Protestant Sects\" essays.  Ideal for courses in sociology  anthropology  political science  history  international relations  economics  and cultural studies  The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the origins and endurance of the modern West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646893482037,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199747253","price":30.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199747252.jpg?v=1781680463","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-protestant-ethic-and-the-spirit-of-capitalism-9780199747252","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
