In response to the staunch defense of the famous Weberian thesis on the role played by the Protestant ethic (see SA 7:1/595444) in the process of formation of the capitalist spirit written by Guy Oakes ("Farewell to The Protestant Ethic?," Telos, 1988-1989, 78, winter, 81-94 [subsumed in SA 41:1/93Z4119]) in reply to Luciano Pellicani's devastating critique of this particular thesis in On the Genesis of Capitalism (Telos Press [no additional publication information provided]), it is stressed that a scientific hypothesis must be considered untenable when it distorts reality. Historical reality tells us that in no country did Calvinism encourage the acquisitive spirit & rational pursuit of profit, but quite the opposite; the movement & its various sects did everything possible to combat Mammon &, therefore, contrary to what Max Weber claimed, did not serve as one of the many obstacles blocking the development of capitalism. Nor can it be claimed that this paradox of consequences -- as documented by the most recent historical studies -- was the diffusion of the Calvinist ethic that paved the way for the development of a market economy. Therefore, the key for interpreting the shift of the driving force of capitalism, in the latter sixteenth century, is not to be sought in the Reformation but in the totalitarian reaction of the counter-Reformation, which, in countries subject to Spanish rule, was blocking economic scientific & technological development.

The Confederate Graves Survey Archive of the Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans consists of surveys of cemetaries throughout Texas, and portions of Oklahoma and New Mexico. The surveys document the interment of Confederate States of America military veterans. United States of America (Union) veterans, as well as able-bodied men at the time of the Civil War, are also documented. 13 boxes entitled "Grave Surveys" contain grave surveys listed county-by-county, 3 boxes of "Unit Files" list surveyed individuals by their military unit. Finally, 17 boxes contain "Veteran Files" that document each veteran by name in "last name, first name, middle initial" format. An index that cross-references each of the collection series (Grave Surveys, Unit Files, and Veteran Files) is included, as are institutions to surveyors on how and what to document while conducting surveys. ; Grave Survey Results: 11 Marked Confederate, 0 Marked Union, 6 Able Bodied Men, 1 I.D.
