Sinopsis

2022 Reprint of the 1926 edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and reproduced with Optical Recognition. áAlso includes the 1937 updated introduction by Tawney.áIn one of the truly great classics of twentieth-century political economy, R. H. Tawney addresses the question of how religion has affected social and economic practices. áHe does this by a relentless tracking of the influence of religious thought on capitalist economy and ideology since the Middle Ages. áIn so doing he sheds light on why Christianity continues to exert a unique role in the marketplace. áIn tough, muscular, richly varied prose, he tells an absorbing and meaningful story. TawneyâÇÖs work is a direct response to WeberâÇÖs famous treatise on the Protestant Ethic.áIn Religion and the Rise of Capitalism Tawney accepts WeberâÇÖs main premise but argues that political and social pressures and the spirit of individualism with its ethic of self-help and frugality were more significant factors in the development of capitalism than was Calvinist theology.Contents: The medieval background.The continental reformers.The Church of England.The Puritan movement.
