Abstract

This chapter discusses Max Weber’s argument of an elective affinity between religiosity and capitalism. Indeed, with regard to evangelicalism or Pentecostalism, scholars propose that there is a causal link between the expansion of global capitalism and the diffusion of specific variants of evangelicalism since the 1970s, which has transformed Latin America. As a result, Catholicism is now in decline in the region. However, within Hinduism and Islam we likewise observe forms of religiosity compatible with and conducive to free market capitalism and neoliberal globalization. The revival of folk religions in China is equally tied in with the development of the market economy. This religiosity is in stark contrast with key assumptions of post-developmentalism, the dominant approach in development studies. The last section shows how charities and religious non-governmental organizations provide market-friendly approaches to poverty, inequality, and development.
