The Protestant Ethic as an Ideological Justification of Capitalism ” (attached b

The Protestant Ethic as an Ideological Justification of Capitalism ” (attached below), which deals with the famous theory by the German sociologist Max Weber that certain aspects of Protestantism created the necessary preconditions for the rise of capitalism. As usual, after reading it, you should summarize the thesis and underlying argument in the discussion forum created for that purpose. A hint: the article is not so much about the Protestant Reformation as it is about Weber’s theory concerning Protestantism and the role it supposedly played vis-à-vis capitalism. Put another way, Buchholz is basically tweaking Weber’s theory, meaning that, in order to fully understand this reading, it is important to distinguish between what Weber is saying and what Buchholz is saying. please write only about the article that I attached no outside sources.
