Predestination also reduced agonising over economic inequality and further, it meant that a material wealth could be taken as a sign of salvation in the afterlife.The believers thus justified pursuit of profit with religion, as instead of being fuelled by morally suspect greed or ambition, their actions were motivated by a highly moral and respected philosophy. This is called the spirit of capitalism: it was the Protestant religious ideology that was behind – and inevitably led to – the capitalist economic system.This theory is often viewed as a reversal of Marxs thesis that the economic base of society determines all other aspects of it.. Marx Weber from his works (The Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism)
