"Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism published in 1905 explores how Protestant values particularly Calvinism influenced the development of capitalism. Weber argued that the Protestant work ethic fostered economic discipline and rationalism shaping modern economic systems. This work informs social welfare by highlighting the role of cultural values in economic behavior guiding policies that address inequality and labor dynamics. Weber’s insights remain relevant in understanding societal structures and their impact on economic and social welfare systems."
