Instructions and Help about impact of modernisation on
Max Weber is one of the philosophers the best able to explain to us the peculiar economic system we live within called capitalism. Born Erfurt in Germany in 1864, Weber grew up to see his country convulsed by the dramatic changes of the Industrial Revolution. Cities were exploding in size. Vast companies were forming. A new managerial elite was replacing the old aristocracy. Weber spent his life analyzing these changes, and he developed some key ideas with which we can better understand the workings and future of capitalism. The standard view is that capitalism began as a result of developments in technology especially steam power. But Weber proposed something more interesting that what actually made capitalism possible was a set of ideas and in particular religious ideas and not just any religious ideas. Capitalism was created by Protestantism, specifically Calvinism. In his great work The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism, published in 1905, Weber laid out some reasons why he believed Protestant Christianity had been so crucial to capitalism. In Weber's analysis Catholics have it relatively easy. They were able to confess their transgressions at regular intervals and can be cleansed by priests. But no such purification are available to Protestants who believe that only god is able to forgive anyone, and he won't make his intentions known until the day of judgment. Until then Weber alleged Protestants are left with heightened feelings of anxiety as well as lifelong guilty desires to prove their virtue to a severe all-seeing but silent god. In Weber's eyes Protestant feelings of guilt were diverted into an obsession with hard work. This was what he called the Protestant work ethic. The sins of Adam could only be expunged through constant toil. Not coincidentally there were far fewer festivals and days of rest in Protestantism. God didn't like time off. Catholics had limited their conception of holy work to the activities of priests, monks and nuns but now Protestants declared that work of any kind could be done in the name of God even jobs like being a baker or an accountant. This lent new moral energy and earnestness to all branches of professional life. In Catholic countries the family was and often still is everything. But Protestants took a less benevolent view of family. The family could be a haven for selfish and egoistic motives. For early Protestants one was meant to direct one's selfless energies to the community as a whole, the public realm, where everyone deserved fairness and dignity. Protestantism and eventually scientific capitalism turned its back on miracles. Weber called this the disenchantment of the world. So prosperity wasn't to be thought of as something mysteriously ordained by God, it could only be the result of thinking methodically, acting honestly, and working industriously and sensibly over many years. Without a belief in miracles people turn to science for explanations and changes which encouraged...
