          Abstract

          Resumen Este articulo revisa la hipotesis de Max Weber sobre el papel del protestantismo en el desarrollo economico. Demuestra que el nacionalismo es crucial para la interpretación de la etica protestante de Weber y su comprobacion empirica. En el caso de Prusia de finales del siglo XIX, rechaza su sugerencia de que el protestantismo importaba debido a una "compulsion ascetica a ahorrar". Ademas, encuentra que los niveles de ingreso, ahorro y tasas de alfabetizacion diferian entre alemanes y polacos, no entre protestantes y catolicos; y sugiere que este resultado se debe a ladiscriminacion contra Polonia.

          Abstract We revisit Max Weber's hypothesis on the role of Protestantism for economic development. We show that nationalism is crucial to both, the interpretation of Weber's Protestant ethic and empirical tests thereof. For late nineteenth-century Prussia, we reject Weber's suggestion that Protestantism mattered due to an "ascetic compulsion to save." Moreover, we find that income levels, savings, and literacy rates differed between Germans and Poles, not between Protestants and Catholics, using pooled MCO and VI regressions. We suggest that this result is due to anti-Polish discrimination.

          Resumo Este artigo revisa a hipótese de Max Weber sobre o papel do protestantismo no desenvolvimento econômico. Mostra que o nacionalismo é crucial para a interpretação da ética protestante de Weber e sua verificação empírica. No caso da Prússia no final do século XIX, ele rejeita sua sugestão de que o protestantismo importava por causa de uma "compulsão ascética para salvar". Além disso, ele descobriu que os níveis de renda, poupança e taxas de alfabetização diferiam entre alemães e poloneses, não entre protestantes e católicos; e sugere que este resultado se deve à discriminação contra a Polônia.
