The paper is very interesting, two things are missing. The first is that Sombart, like Weber, was mainly concerned to understand and give a all-catch theory that explains not only the rise but also gradual evolution of capitalism. This is a good point of dialogue between Marx and Sombart, or Sombart and Weber. The problem of War needs further discussion, probably putting other authors as Norbert Elias, Kautsky, or Althusser. The argument is very well achieved, and this is a good piece but these studies should be taken into contemplate. Besides, it is vital to add a new section describing how Sombart would deal with modern issues today? Why Sombart and why know? what has Sombart to say in these grey times?
