He is more in agreement with Weber. Weber analyses religious determinants for capitalism (ibid).
Weber disagrees considerably with Marx by claiming that ideology was a legitimate determinant for social organization. On the other hand, Marx felt that ideology was almost exclusively the result of economic determinants where Weber considered such a view simplistically naive. Rather, he analyzed the relationship between economy and society in terms of religious belief. He therefore opened the way for analyses of other ideological phenomena such as law, politics, and culture. Although he did not reduce religion to an economic determinant, he did consider it to be a fundamental social phenomenon. From this, he traced its roots to the very beginnings of society in the forms of animism, naturalism and totemism. In totemism, he finds the ultimate origin of social structure. Weber appears to follow his lead by a further analysis of the Protestant religion and its relationship to capitalism. As he makes very clear, spiritual ideology, asceticism...

Simmel also emphasized the study of small groups. This differed for the classical theorists like Durkheim and Marx. The primary contemporary interest in Simmel's work stems from the analysis of individual action within the ambit of the structural approach.
This was usually the case with the proliferation of British rule at the time; trade was the predecessor to British Colonialism. For administrative purposes, Singapore became a part of Penang and Malacca which were two other settlements in the region.

Ross (1988) notes the development of Romanticism in the late eighteenth century and indicates that it was essentially a masculine phenomenon: Romantic poetizing is not just what women cannot do because they are not expected to; it is also what some men do in order to reconfirm their capacity to influence the world in ways socio-historically determined as masculine. The categories of gender, both in their lives and in their
