It's really Calvinist, with people believing that if they are prosperous, then God has somehow chosen them to prosper. The real Puritans and Quakers recognized that evidence of one's Godliness was that one did not need ostentatious display.

The Puritans were Calvinists and neither group had anything to do with the Prosperity Gospel.
