Capitalism is the deep structure of western culture. The term "Kapitalist" was first used by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in Manifesto of the Communist Party in 1848. In 1902, German economist Werner Sombart employed the term 'capitalism' to describe certain production system. Max Weber in his The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, first published in 1904, also used the term and provided a reasonable justification for the development of capitalism by tracing its origins back to the Calvinist spirit. Through his advocacy of scientific management and efficiency of production, Frederick W. Taylor further provided a working model for professional management which let to the predominance of capitalism. Production and consumption are two important dimensions emphasized in capitalistic culture. With the progress of time, production is no longer a problem and the importance of consumption far outweighs that of production. The question of how to stimulate mass consumption becomes the essence of capitalistic culture. The article traces the development of capitalism from its formation in western society to its global predominance in the contemporary world. It aims to find a way to adapt to the widespread influence of capitalist culture.
