Which sociologist published a book in 1904 in which he noted that it was no mere coincidence that an overwhelming number of business leaders, owners of capital, and skilled workers were Protestants, not Catholics?
The book he published was called Protestant Ethic. He wrote it after noticing that the Protestant part of Europe was wealthier than the Catholic part, so he inferred the cause to be that Protestants continuously promoted hard work and money-saving.
These circumstances are believed to have facilitted capitalism in Western Europe.
