Answer: Option (A) is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Weber was well known to broaden and narrow the rationale of capitalism. He viewed all forms of money-making whether it was through trade or exchange tended to represent capitalist action. On the other hand, he narrows the definition, considering it as a peaceful free exchange, therefore if there is an acquisition by force, it is not capitalism.
For him, rationality was in using balances, and also the development of a well versed monetary system, with a well-defined measurement in money. The rational, acquisition which is capitalistic is referred to as the orderly use of commodities, such that balance at the end is more than the capital invested.
