I don't remember hearing much about wealth when I read about Calvinism in college. I remember that the elect were predestined to do good works and go to heaven, and that's it.
The intriguing thing for me about the philosophy was that, yea, you're predestined so you in theory could do whatever you want, but if you're not doing good works, you're probably not one of the elect.
Where did you read that Calvinists believe that the elect were also bestowed wealth? Was this a widespread belief? I'm genuinely interested, this is new to me.
