“The impact of Puritan ideology on aspects of project management” by Stephen Jonathan Whitty, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2006.05.002

“Project management has developed against a background of Puritan elements (memes) that are favourable to the development of capitalism. Moreover, it is suggested that these religious origins continue to impact in a conservative way on how the project management discipline evolves; limiting its development, oversimplifying the process of managing people, and consequentially thwarting nonconformists.”

Strongly recommended! Even more surprisingly, cited by 51 scientists, according to google scholar. Ladies and Gentlemen, I tip my hat to You!

The obnoxious American practice of preaching prosperity gospels, while charging regular licensing fees ( “freedom isn’t free!” ), has oppressed project management for too long.
