When God Became a Capitalist
Have you ever wondered why some of the world's wealthiest entrepreneurs live like monks? Why billionaires sleep on office couches and eat the same meal every day? The answer lies in a religious revolution that happened five centuries ago, one that accidentally invented modern capitalism. Max Weber's groundbreaking analysis reveals something startling: the psychological machinery of capitalism wasn't designed by economists or merchants-it was forged in the fires of Protestant theology. This isn't just historical curiosity. Understanding this connection illuminates why we work the way we do, why guilt shadows our leisure time, and why "hustle culture" feels oddly religious even when we're not.
