The overall pattern is one in which numerous elements must be balanced in continuous conflict if economic development is to take place. These conditions are fostered by the bureaucratic state and by legal citizenship, and more remotely by a complex of administrative, military, and religious factors. Intermediate conditions are a calculable legal system and an economic ethic combining universal commercialization with the moderate pursuit of repetitive gains. The outcome of the sequence is capitalism characterized by the entrepreneurial organization of capital, rationalized technology, free labor, and unrestrained markets. Weber's institutional theory involves a sequence of causal conditions. This last theory is predominantly institutional, unlike the emphasis upon religious ideas and motivations in his early Protestant Ethic thesis, and unlike his analyses of the world religions. A systematic formulation is given of Weber's theory of the origins of large-scale capitalism, based upon the lectures given just before his death.
