53.

With one minor exception, Weber took it as self-evident that throughout Europe Protestants far surpassed Catholics in educational and occupational achievement and that Protestant areas were, and had been, well ahead in the Industrial Revolution. The exception was his rather offhand citation of a study by his student Martin Offenbacher of educational attainment in Baden that purported to show that Protestant students were more likely to enroll in schools offering mathematics and science than in schools specializing in the classics. Not only is this astonishingly slim evidence for a thesis of immense historical scope, but it wasn’t even correct—the shortcomings of Offenbacher’s “findings” have been fully exposed (see Becker, 2000, 1997; Hamilton, 1996). In any event, Weber’s starting point seems to have reflected nothing more scholarly than the smug anti-Catholicism of his time and place. Daniel Chirot has suggested to me that Weber’s deep anti-Catholicism also explains his disregard for French scholarship.

Pirenne was refuting not Weber, whom he may not yet have read, but Sombart, 1902, and other Marxists who equated capitalism with the Industrial Revolution.
