Starting where Max Weber's "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" left off, Tropman develops the idea that there is another religious-based ethic permeating society, a Catholic ethic. Where Weber proposed that a Protestant ethic supported the development of capitalism, Tropman argues that there is a Catholic ethic as well, and that it is more caring and community-orientated. Tropman employs tools of both sociology and religious thought. The book is intended for a wide audience including students and scholars in disciplines informed by the influence of religion on politics and on social and economic behaviour.
