«Ética Protestante e o "Espírito" do Capitalismo» is Max Weber's sociological essay, published by Companhia das Letras in paperback, in Portuguese.
Weber studies how ascetic Protestantism, especially Calvinism, promoted a methodical, industrious and austere conduct that proved decisive for the cultural configuration of modern capitalism. The work connects religious beliefs and economic rationality, and analyses how the idea of vocation and the valuation of work transformed social life in the West.
Published in 1904 and revised by Weber in 1920. This Brazilian edition by Companhia das Letras, prepared by Antônio Flávio Pierucci, commemorates the centenary and brings together both versions. 288 pages.
A reference work for students and researchers in sociology, philosophy, history and economics, as well as for readers interested in the cultural foundations of capitalism.
Max Weber was a Jewish-American painter and one of the first American Cubist painters who, in later life, turned to more figurative Jewish themes in his art. He is best known today for Chinese Restaurant (1915), in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, "the finest canvas of his Cubist phase," in the words of art historian Avis Berman.
