Abstract

The concept of spirit in Werner Sombart departs from the economistic logic in analyzing the capitalist economic system. Through a sociological interpretation of history, the German thinker emphasizes subjectivities capable of shaping behavioral arrangements, giving rise to a financial system closely related to individuals' mental attitudes. Therefore, this paper aims to present the main concepts and the significance of Werner Sombart based on his texts and commentary. It seeks to analyze the development of capitalism within a framework that considers studies of economics, society, and history as endogenous, grounded in the notion of spirit. This approach avoids reducing capitalism to economics and instead incorporates it to explain the prevailing mindset of an era. Thus, it endeavors to provide a historical insight into one of the critical concepts in sociology, as seen through the perspective of one of the foremost sociologists of the 20th century.
