picrel should be read for understanding 'Active Asceticism'.
This book outlines how Calvinism transformed ascetic practices into an active engagement with the world rather than a withdrawal from it.
An important phenomena accountable for the driving force behind the american Kulin class of their Golden Period.

so calvinists believe that Jesus died only to save the elected few who were predestined for salvation.
No calvinist will ever say "Jesus died for your sins" to a non-believer.

The "doctrine of the sterility of money" is a historical economic and philosophical concept, most famously articulated by Aristotle, that money is inherently barren because it is a medium of exchange for tangible goods, not a tool for production. This view holds that charging interest (usury) on a loan is unjust because it charges for a "sterile" thing to reproduce, essentially getting something for nothing. This idea influenced medieval thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and later figures such as Martin Luther, forming a basis for many religious and ethical prohibitions against usury, especially in a pre-industrial economy.

Money represents claims on real goods and services. Its value fluctuates with supply, demand, and inflation, and it can be invested in productive ventures (business, infrastructure, stock, bonds). Thus, earning interest is no longer sterile, because the money enables production, trade, and wealth creation.
