Abstract

Ten years after the publication of "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" Weber presented the social sciences with an ambitious series of essays on the "Business Ethic of the World Religions." This series was cut short by his untimely death in 1920. As it stands it includes a study of Confucianism and Taoism, Buddhism and Hinduism, ancient Judaism, and a short appendage on the Pharisees. It was his intention to supplement the study of ancient Judaism with an analysis of the Psalms and the Book of Job. Treatises on Talmudic Judaism, the Islam, and early Christianity had been outlined and would have completed this extensive piece of research had he been able to continue his work.
