Özet:

 The association between capitalism and Protestantism has invoked much controversy, as well as ingenuity. This paper compares Webers analysis against a much more contemporary theoretical framework also known as social constructivism. Constructivism as a present-day social theory offers a compelling evaluation of how capitalism may have risen. While Weber offers the Protestant work ethic as a potential catalyst for his approach, his insights argue that capitalism can only be limited to a specific theology, rendering the rest of the world incapable of capitalism. Although Webers insights do function as Occams Razor, his explanation for how capitalism may flourish in other parts of the world remains restrained. As an alternative social constructivism emphasizes a much better theoretical frame for capitalism that offers a better explanation for how cultures may construct capitalist norms and relations.

 Kapitalizm ve Protestanlık arasındaki ilişki büyük tartışmalara yol açarken aynı zamanda yapıcı fikirlerin ortaya çıkmasına da sebep olmuştur. Bu makale, Weberin analizini, sosyal inşacılık olarak da bilinen çok daha aktüel bir teorik çerçeveyle mukayese etmektedir. İnşacılık güncel sosyal teoriler arasında, kapitalizmin yükselişine dair anlamlı değerlendirme sunmaktadır. Weberin yaklaşımı Protestan iş ahlakını potansiyel bir katalizör olarak sunarken, kapitalizmin sadece belirli bir teoloji ile sınırlı olduğunu ve dünyanın geri kalanının kapitalizmi gerçekleştiremeyeceğini öne sürer. Weberin içgörüleri Occamın Usturası işlevi görse de kapitalizmin dünyanın diğer bölgelerinde nasıl gelişebileceğine dair açıklamaları da sınırlıdır. Alternatif olarak, sosyal inşacılık, kültürlerin kapitalist normlar ve ilişkiler inşa etme biçimlerini daha iyi açıklayan, kapitalizm için çok daha iyi bir teorik çerçeve sunar.
