“Do you really consider this spirit of capitalism stuff to be protestant propaganda?”
It wasn’t.
And, I doubt Agere thinks so.
It clearly was. It doesn’t make the catholic nations the devil in this play.
Look at Italian industry.... The Fiats, Ferrari’s....
It’s not a G-8 nation for nothing.
I would say the protestant revolution was perhaps extra conducive for this sort of behaviour, but nor exclusively so.
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
