The commercial ethics of Protestants formed the basis of Capitalist spirit in Europe. Likewise Capitalism, Social Democracy also borned from religion. Muslim societies can not progress like European countries since last 200 years. A Weberian Sabri Ülgener proposes a development solution for Muslim societies. According to Sabri Ulgener, economic models which internalize national values are more realistic and healthy. He thinks that development solutions which are inspired from national culture and value system will be more successful. Besides, Ulgener thinks that economy and society should unify. This unification can be realized by only with a model which is suitable for citizens and country. According to him, every country would find his way for independence by itself but, it must be realized according to its local conditions. In this study, Capitalism, Max Weber’s “social economy” concept and social democracy is shorly explained.
