Night Waves: Undercurrents

on BBC Radio 3

On the centenary of the first publication of Max Weber 's The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Philip Dodd and guests explore the relationship between religion and commerce. Religious devotion usually rejects mundane affairs such as economic pursuit, so why wasn't this the case with Protestantism? And with more hours being worked by Britons every year, the panel investigate the reasons for our love affair with the workplace. Can we ever reconcile leisure with the ethical life in the future?
