![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite the material spirit of capitalism enhanced by Marx, Weber’s argument proves the power of ideas in history by evaluating the economic system, religion, and ethics in understanding the connection between social wealth and equity. Weber’s reply is based on the refutation of Marx’s historical materialism, the analysis of conceptual ambiguity, and the identification of religious influence. The Marxist point of view is that Weber focuses on Protestant ethics instead of searching for some material evidence for capitalism origins. In his Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Weber underlines the power of religious and economic ideas to explain the possibility of capitalism in society during the 19th century. It is not effective to merely compare Weber’s ideas with Marxism concepts and define the strengths and weaknesses of both statements. It is not enough to take Weber’s theory of stratification or social class and explain the roots of social conflict through class, status, and party relationships. Modern sociologists, philosophers, and economics currently use the works by Max Weber and Karl Marx to strengthen their views of society and discuss the impact of different ideas in history. ![]()
