E thics and the S tructure of S ociety : an E thnological C ontribution to the S ociology of K nowledge

Abstract

Comparison of the Yurok-Hupa-Karok cultures of northwestern California with European reveal in both a correlation between a capitalistic social order and an ethico-religious system emphasizing a work and guilt complex. Tbough the specific child training complexes differ, parents of both societies communicate a complex of "anal" traits. The evidence suggests a requisite (or necessary) functional relationship between a Capitalistic social order and a protestant type of ethic.
