Annotation

The article deals with the evaluation of the economic potential of Buddhism in a sociological teachings of Weber. The author notes that Weber characteristic of Buddhism as a religion of "flight from the world" is very controversial. The best refutation of this thesis is the rapid economic growth in the twentieth century, the countries of East and Southeast Asia. In addition, Buddhism has had a significant influence on the formation of business ethics and corporate culture of Japan. This is not to exaggerate the impact of Buddhism on the development and modernization of the Asian economies.
