Abstract: Abstract Since Max Weber (1930), we have heard that culture weighs, determines, inclines, and ends by deciding which nations will prosper and which are condemned to live in poverty, as long as their people do not change their habit, beliefs, and values. Weber said that the protestant ethic was responsible for the fact that Germany and Switzerland were more successful economically in the twentieth century than the Catholic countries of Spain and Portugal.
