The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

by Weber, Max (1992)

Key Passage

“Labour must (…) be performed as if it were an absolute end in itself, a calling. But such an attitude is by no means a product of nature. It cannot be evoked by low wages or high ones alone, but can only be the product of a long and arduous process of education.” (p.25)
