Literary study in the academy has now been overtaken almost exclusively by various hybrid forms of "social-science critique" (when it's not just outright political agitation), and to continue to assert that literature still retains too much of its autonomy in such circumstances seems to me either willful blindness or plain dishonesty. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A grandstanding politician could easily ­denounce the entire study—or the entire enterprise of social-science research—as a massive waste of money on the basis of "discoveries" like these. ❋ Christopher F. Chabris (2011)

[Weber's] most famous work reg., social science is his essay in economic sociology, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, which also began his work in the sociology of religion. In this text, Weber argued that religion was one of the non-exclusive reasons for the different ways the cultures of the Occident and the Orient have developed, and stressed that particular characteristics of ascetic [Protestantism] influenced the development of capitalism, bureaucracy and the rational-legal state in the West. The essay examines the effects Protestantism had upon the beginnings of capitalism, arguing that capitalism is not purely materialist in [Karl Marx's] sense, but rather originates in religious ideals and ideas which cannot be solely explained by ownership relations, technology and advances in learning alone.
