本文的重点是完善韦伯的论文的不同影响新教相比，天主教的宗教取向在经济活动领域。马克斯·韦伯的著作，特别是所谓的“新教伦理假说”，继续对当前社会科学的研究产生令人印象深刻的影响。本文有选择地审议了解决这一问题的几种不同办法，以确定其可能性和局限性。也许最常见的方法是从经济学家强调创业精神在经济发展过程中的重要性的角度来解释韦伯假说。韦伯的“新教伦理”被视为一种意识形态取向，倾向于引导那些持有它的人成为企业家角色，然后他们为经济增长做出贡献。经济发展的结果既取决于激励的制度引导，也取决于某种激励的存在或缺失。
The article focuses on refining the Weberian thesis about the differential effects of Protestant compared with Catholic religious orientations in the sphere of economic activity. The work of Max Weber, especially the so-called'Protestant Ethic hypothesis,'continues to exercise an impressive influence on current research in the social sciences. The article devotes a selective consideration of several different approaches to the problem with a view to determining some of their possibilities and limitations. Perhaps the commonest approach has been to interpret the Weber hypothesis in terms of the economists' emphasis on the importance of entrepreneurship in the process of economic development. Weber's' Protestant Ethic'is seen as an ideological orientation tending to lead those who hold it into an entrepreneurial role where they then contribute to economic growth. The consequences for economic development depend as much on the institutional channeling of motivation as on the presence or absence of certain kinds of motivation.
