According to Weber, the spread of the Protestant ethic, which emphasized hard work, thrift, and a belief in predestination, created a cultural environment that promoted and encouraged capitalist development. This ethic was not present in Catholic Europe and therefore did not promote the same level of capitalist development. Unfavorable economic conditions, reorganization of everyday life, and changes in gender interaction patterns may have played a role in capitalist development, but Weber saw the Protestant ethic as the primary driving force.
