M AX Weber's famous essay, The Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, has focused attention, in dramatic and persuasive fashion, on the influence of the Protestant ethic on the development of capitalism, and specifically on the role of the concept of the calling in releasing the economic drives of western man. Weber built much of his case on the Puritans, but in doing so he overlooked, in the opinion of this writer, certain rather crucial changes which took place within Puritanism, and thus failed to give an adequate picture of the relationship between this particular form of Protestantism and the spirit of capitalism
