The Mystery In The Origin Of Capitalism

Authors

Keywords
capitalism, market, genesis of capitalism, Marx, Weber, Sombart

Summary
The paper explains the genesis of capitalism in a principally different way from that of sociological classics. The new European trans-continental trade is viewed as a mechanism, as a social-structural process of supra-personal order, operating systematically in the course of over three centuries and giving rise to capitalism as its own product. Market aided by Calvinisation of Christianity is accepted not only as a historical but also as „a logical beginning” of the modern type of societies.
