Misc...on the Protestant Ethic OR "It's About Work"--Alice

[Mark Kohut]

If interested, Trevor-Roper sez [book is 1968] it seems irrefutable
that the Reformation in the 16th Century lead to the Enlightment.....

"Without Calvin, no Voltaire"---he sez

As an historical footnote, T-R seems proud of asserting, finding
an actual book title and a source by a major economic historian--one Robertson--
who argue that the Jesuits of the time shared the Calvinists' rationale:
secular work was good, salvational.......therefore capitalism was too.

Against the day indeed.....
