A great read for any recovering corporate stiff
I found this to be an engaging story of the rise and demise of a corporate workaholic, but happily without the objectivist one-way ticket to true oblivion. In addition to a hard-to-put-down story line, Reider's protagonist has something for everyone -- the archetype of "poor kid makes good and becomes modern successful company man" with a mythology that reasonates sometimes too close to home. Don't expect any how-to, though; whatever your profession, behind this story are the clues to your own destiny, and maybe a wake-up call to yield to it and find your own "footpath back home." ...

"Objectivity" of Weber absent in his own work
Weber based most of his later works on his first theory of rise of capitalism in Protestant societies. Thus, writing about Indian and Chinese societies he was looking for the reasons for the absence of capitalism in those societies. He concluded that Asian religions are so irrational and other-worldly that they are simply incapable of producing industrial capitalism which is based on rational, secular and this-worldly social ethics.
Amazing understanding and insight
This book is a part of �gThe economical ethics of the world religions,�h which consists mainly of three parts; others are �gThe Confucian and the Taoism�h and �gThe Ancient Judaism.�hIt also includes two important short briefs.Read more
