Publisher Description
Introduction The fundamental tenant of the Vienna Conference (1) on "The Orthodox Spirit and the Ethic of Capitalism" (2) is to endeavor towards an Orthodox Christian approach to capitalism, predicated upon Max Weber's monumental work The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. (3) Accordingly, Weber attempted to develop a systematic understanding of the emergence of capitalism in the West, which preceded other societies that had a seemingly advantageous climate to bolster market economies. According to the Weberian doctrine, it was Calvinist Protestantism that fostered an ethic of capitalism, catapulting their faithful toward the acquisition of wealth as an indicator of their being among the elect of God.
