Puritan work ethic from "summary" of The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber
The Puritan work ethic, as discussed in 'The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism', refers to a set of values and beliefs that emphasize the virtues of hard work, discipline, frugality, and self-denial. These values were prevalent among the Puritans, a religious group that emerged in the 16th century and played a significant role in shaping Western culture and society.
