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).
