Religion as barricade
![Page 8: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Religion as defense
Aggressive developersOr protection against system that
violates ethics?Progress not the enemy, moral
degradation

Secularization
Social values yield to capitalism
Rational economy not because of Calvinist strength, but insipid Christianity
![Page 11: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Confucianism
Benevolence explains weak labour unions
Family explains high savings ratesMiroshima rushes in and claims
Confucian strand in Japan explains superior growth over China more than necessary condition: prime
cause
![Page 13: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Davis’ critique
Confucius opposed to profit! [239]
Neglects presence of self-interest, disloyalty, conflict even Samurai wanted rewards!
Consensus elusive[Note lack of sacrifice to bail
out flagging economy]
![Page 14: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Weber’s observations 1
Chinese had wrong “geist”Laboured but lacked capitalist
self-disciplineFamily protection and kinship a
barricadeMoral and legalistic state failed
to provide rational bureaucracy
![Page 16: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Weber’s observations 2
Scholarship “magical”Study “assimilation” not
creationPuritans sought to transform
world: Confucian to accommodate to it
![Page 17: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Weber’s observations 3
Lack of tension or angst“Nothing more radical than a
good solid education was needed to make the world as good as it ever was, or could be” [243]
Ethnocentrism abounding
![Page 18: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Japan
Cards stacked against 1603-1868 Tokugawa
Resource poor, isolationist, hereditary merchants … likened to toads!, toll roads, ancestral land, economy embedded in kinship and guilds
![Page 19: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Japan Negative enablements
By C19th had economic surplus, literacy, rural proletariat, economy was disembedded
Buddhism used by Tokugawa and autocratic Meiji developers to control masses
An individual oriented religion not confronting social injustice
![Page 20: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Japan Negative enablements
Buddhism passively “accepts the spirit of the times” [251]
Shinto was equally compliant “Silent accomplice”
Religious belief became secularized
![Page 21: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Japan Positive enablements
Early modern Japan had ethic for society with embedded economy
Confucian barricades held during 1920s & 1930s
Work ideology, not ethic =principles averred in public
![Page 22: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Embedded society
Industry now seeking protection from society and its claims
Organic model of society --> into organic model of industry
Japan: people yielding their claims to those of the economy [still true as state tries to boost
spending?]
![Page 24: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Spirit of capitalism!?
![Page 25: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Weber & Asia
Traditional economies showed “universal and mutual distrust”
Then “rational depersonalizing of business”
Paternalistic industry “Simply co-opted the symbols and
values of the traditional households and villages they were actually destroying” [266]
![Page 26: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Work ethic?
Industries have patrols and spiesMilitant unions destroyed after
WWIIHorizontal mobility restrictedSeniority pay as inducement[268] “industrial discipline in the
Far East depends on much more than a “work ethic” […]

Islam
1683 Failed siege of ViennaFundamentalists see Islam
challenged by infidels and Muslim apostates
Democracy irrelevant no questioning of republic
permitted
![Page 28: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
God’s polity
no state, only a ruler; no court, only a judge; no city, just … neighborhoods
No legislative or corporate bodies, thus no need for principle of representation
History of Islamic states almost wholly autocracy
![Page 29: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Modernization?
Reinforces obstaclesPower of state to intimidate
increasesPhilosophy sharpened by
foreign imports
![Page 30: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Accommodation?
Sunnis see Caliph elected by those qualified to make a choice
relationship contractual Islamic ruler is not above the law,
but is subject to it like humblest servant
Pluralism also accepted in Islamic law and practice
![Page 31: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Temptations
Doctrine of elective and contractual sovereignty largely ignored since early days of Caliphate
Consultation restricted to ruler and inner circle
![Page 32: Religion Hurdle or barricade?. “Hurdles” §Obstacle course trad-modern l And authentic-deformed §Modernization hurdles l Characteristics of capitalism.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d6a5503460f94a495bc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Policies for west?
Right wing accepts dictators in name of democracy
Left wants concessions on rights
Existing regimes might be better
Fundamentalists hard to remove
