Re: request for sources: Marx versus Weber

I would also recommend Derek Sayer's book "Capitalism and 
modernity: an excursus on Marx and Weber", published by 
Routledge, 1990. For a different perspective on the 
critique of Weber's Protestant ethic thesis, "Islam and 
capitalism" by Maxime Rodinson (Penguin, 1977) is well 
worth a look.

Sincerely,

Malcolm Brown.
