Abstract

Two economic values, two technical values, and a value common to both areas, are abstracted from Weber's and Merton's works on the early. Protestants. These five values are described as they are expressed in Zoroastrianism. The relevant behavior of present-day Zoroastrians-the Parsis of India-is examined and found to give us more confidence in the suggested positive association between the acceptance of economic and technical values and the appearance of commercial and technological behavior.
