This writer rejected Georg Simmel's definition of a city, saying instead that it consisted of people living close together in anonymity. His work The City was posthumously incorporated into one of his works describing several of his ideal types, including three types of religious behavior: world-flying mysticism, world-rejecting asceticism, and inner-worldly asceticism. That combined work is Economy and Society. One work by this writer states that Calvinists used worldly success to determine their religious fate, leading to a belief that earning a profit was a positive religious sign, which in turn explains economic improvements in parts of Europe. Name this author of The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.
