Description

Starting where Max Weber's "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" left off, Tropman develops the idea that there is another religious-based ethic permeating society, a Catholic ethic. Where Weber proposed that a Protestant ethic supported the development of capitalism, Tropman argues that there is a Catholic ethic as well, and that it is more caring and community-orientated. Tropman employs tools of both sociology and religious thought. The book is intended for a wide audience including students and scholars in disciplines informed by the influence of religion on politics and on social and economic behaviour.

Author Biography:

John E. Tropman is author of a number of books, including The Catholic Ethic in American Society (Jossey Bass, 1995), a brief introduction to the concept, which won a Choice Outstanding Academic Book Award. He has a PhD in sociology and social work and is a professor of social welfare and business at the University of Michigan.
