Publisher Synopsis
"A groundbreaking work.... Penslar persuasively demonstrates that economic issues, or 'political economy,' had a profound impact on the shape and character of Jewish self-understanding.... It will be required reading for all scholars... [and] will also capture the attention of a general audience." - David Sorkin, author of Moses Mendelssohn and the Religious Enlightenment "A major contribution.... Placing economics at the center of modern European Jewish history. Penslar presents an original interpretation of the critical issues of modern Jewish history: emancipation, social mobility, anti-Semitism, and the construction of new identities." - Paula E. Hyman, author of The Jews of Modern France" Read more...
