%X This thesis explores the potential influence of Protestantism on economic growth and productivity by comparing two culturally distinct nations, Japan and Mexico. The study posits that the culture with more similarities to Protestant ethics tends to exhibit higher levels of productivity and, consequently, more robust economic growth. Using historical, demographic, and economic data, the study conducts an in-depth analysis of the socio-economic structures, religious landscapes, and productivity levels in Japan and Mexico. The underlying hypothesis is that Japan's work culture, which shares key features with Protestant ethics, contributes significantly to its high productivity and economic growth, unlike Mexico's with a different type of collectivism and hierarchical culture. This research enriches our understanding of how religious and cultural factors can shape economic performance across different countries, offering insights for anyone in international relations and multinational management
