—“Anyone ever read Weber’s “The Protestant Ethic?”—

I think the intellectual consensus is that weber confused cause and consequence. The protestant ethic was around for 4000 years, but was brought into its peak starting in 7-800 by the use of manorialism starting in holland. Spreading rapidly across the Hajnal line, and roughly in concert with the prohibition on cousin marriage. Protestants possessed the work ethic, but protestantism did not create it. Conversely it appears the work ethic created or justified protestantism.
