Aside from the spiritual dimensions of Calvinism...... Calvin established the first free public schools in Geneva to enable the people to read the Bible themselves, and this spread to other lands an increased literacy. In addition, Calvinism encouraged hard work, thrift, and temperance on the part of all people, as well as lending money with interest. This lead to the development of the Capitalistic system, which did improve life (despite what Marx might say).

it had the means of spreading its ideas, e.g. missionaries from Calvins academy in Geneva, and also the Geneva printing press made easy distribution of ideas. Calvins church also had the structural support, unlike luther. Calvinist followers could set up their own private worship (conventicles), which then escalated into parish counsels etc. This made it possible for independants to practise calvinism. Luther had no structure behind his ideas which made it hard for followers to worship without looking for superior guidance.. if you get my drift....
