In Max Weber's classic work, "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," he showed how a change in one social institution can influence a change in another institution. He maintained that the new values of the Protestant Reformation in Central Europe was one of the causitive factors in the development of the capitalistic economic institution.
Geertz has used a similar analogy in his monograph on Java. Of course the religious analogy does not apply, and his emphasis is on modernization.

I do not know the influence of Weber on Geertz, but I know for a certainty, that the anthropologist, Clifford Geertz, is a purblind fool.
