Lec 52: Protestant Ethics and Capitalism - An Introduction | Max Weber

In this lecture, we will study about:
1. Max Weber's work of Protestant Ethics and spirit of capitalism
2. Max weber argues that Protestant ethics like Predestination, concept of calling and this wordly asceticism led to the development of spirit of capitalism in the Western world.
3. He constructed an ideal type of Protestant ethics and causally linked it with ideal type of capitalism.
4. He emphasised that these causal relations are partial and probable relations and criticised the monocausal and economic determinism of Karl Marx.
5. He traced how Religion shaped economy.
6. He argued that in other societies like China and India these typical features of capitalism are absent due to ideational and structural barriers generated by caste system and Hinduism in India and confucianism and Taoism in China.
7. He also argued against Pariah capitalism of Jews and Adventuristic and booty capitalism.
8. He criticised Utilitatianism of Jeremy Benthem and JS Mill.

A sociologist may be subjective in selecting a topic to explain but after chosing the topic he has to be value neautral amd has to follow objectivity approach...

Bcz am struggling with analysis of my answer writing
How should I analyse my answer
I don't know my answer are right or some lacunae are present

[@kaarwan-e-upsc]

Download answer sheets of various toppers... Use that as your point of reference and comparison... One answer sheet that I would specifically mention is Gitanjali Brandon's Sociology Vision answer booklet.. Don't go for purchasing books containing pyq solutions... They are worthless as per my opinion!!!
