Traditionalism

I do agree with statement mentioned above about the perspective of greediness being a part of human nature. However, Weber mentions that “old leisurely and comfortable attitude toward life” as key feature when describing traditionalism and the older form of labour. This to me suggests that the workers were happy with the way things were and they focused more on their comfort and leisure, earning just enough to lead a respectable life rather than making profit or earning more. Instead, I think that the human nature of greediness rooted from entrepreneurs who made the existence of labour more frugal and competitive, not necessarily because it has always been in human’s nature to work hard and gain more.
