A joining to historical school sociologist Max Veber (1864—1920) probed affecting of religion economic life of people and countries. His labours "Protestant ethics and spirit of capitalism" and "Economic ethics of world religions" won a world fame. Reasonings of M. Vebera are notable about two beginnings: mystic, invocatory to the care from the world to passive contemplation of events, socializing with God, and ascetic active self-restraint, directed on transformation of the world in accordance with the precepts of Him.

In world religions present both began, however in different combinations. Especially an ascetic accent in protestantism is religions of the first American migrants of the European (British) businessmen of XVIII в. He becomes character of rational conduct, forms the "spirit of capitalism". In obedience to religious studies God predetermines human fates, but a certificate are your energy, your successes. An enterprise got the non-material stimulus of active activity the same.

The Russian religious philosopher Sergey Nikolaevich Bulgakov (1871—1944) in basis of the studies about the ways of national menage pawned the followings beginnings:

• preference a collegiality, to community to the personal freedom;

• waiver of self-interest and enterprise attitude toward nature;

• alienation from mother-earth.

S. Bulgakov probed the historical value of church dissidence, considering him the analogue of protestant motion, incident to the early capitalism in Europe. About national he talked that "... nationalism is form of human unity, which not only connects but also disconnects. And a national messiah too easily passes to national exceptional nature". Russian orthodoxy carried in itself deep moral sense, but little instrumental in education of character, active attitude toward life. "A toll swam above Lower Novgorod!" (A m is Gorki). A considerable role here played loss a church (yet from times of Boris Godunova), to independence, its submission authorities, entailing the loss of trust of parishioners.

Another encyclopaedically well-educated representative of historical school is the German economist, sociologist and philosopher Verner Zombart (1863—1941). He offered typification of the economic systems and division into periods of economic history, based on the followings postulates:

• initial is "life of spirit", which determines the national manner of thoughts and activity of those intellectual components which are responsible for an economic orientation;

• psychology of enterprise includes such personality features, as dynamism, propensity to the risk, ideological freedom and such, peculiar above all things to Americans quality, as ability after a failure to begin everything with a zero.

V. Zombart subdivides businessmen into "conquerors", "organizers" and "merchants". The personal touches correspond every kind: a confidence in itself, persistence and will is noticeable at the first; ability to connect people in a labour process — at the second; ability to conquer a trust and dispose to itself, inducing people to the purchases, — at the third. A scientist links propensity to the enterprise of one or another kind with national belonging.

Riches of actual material, striking intuition and brilliant feather of V. Zombarta, until now come into the notice of readers. At the same time he have litigions ideas. Reflecting above future "social pluralism", I.e. by natural multiplicity of variants of social development, he at the same time insists on the necessity of state control and planning of industrial progress. An ideal gotes for Germany, according to his opinion, in the system of state capitalism. In 1915 the book of V. Zombarta went out "Heroes and merchants", where to the merchants — heroic German nation resisted an anglo-saxon.
