(IFWE) Hugh Whelchel–How the Protestant Work Ethic Became the Atheist Work Ethic

Posted on April 10, 2014 by Kendall Harmon

Travis Wiseman and Andrew Young, the two economists who wrote this study, found that the more Christians there are in a state, the lower the level of entrepreneurship for that state.

    Does the author suggest that the Protestant Work Ethic was also adopted by Catholics? He describes general-type “Christians” as withdrawing from the work place. I’m not so sure withdraw is the correct idea. Perhaps booted is more apt, as with last weekend’s witch hunt. I’m reminded of [url=http://www.bbc.com/news/business-22488328] this article[/url] from the BBC and I think another more recent which actually sings the praises of psychopaths in the workplace. Perhaps that’s where we’ve been heading these past decades.
