In this paper, I want to understand the internal relation between the urge to expand economic capital in contemporary era and the faith in God as it grow in contemporary religion. To achieve this, I will read and interpret the analysis of Max Weber concerning the Protestant ethic and the phenomenon of modern capitalism, give critical remarks to it, and try to understand its relevance for contemporary Indonesian society. As a conclusion, I will argue that to create an economic prosperity, we not only need government policies and incentives, but also an enlightened way of living and understanding our own religion. I will explain further this argument, and how it can be operational in our society.
