Description: Since its first appearance in Germany in 1911, Jews and Modern Capitalism has provoked vehement criticism
Review Quotes:
"[T]races the connection which [Sombart] asserts to exist between Jews and modern capitalism from the transferring of the hegemony of the world's commerce from the Italians and Spaniards in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to northern Europe . . . [where] they brought about the modern economic system of credit and competitive prices. . . . [Sombart's] exaggerations only serve to make his pages the more provocative of thought . . . a very real contribution to the hitherto neglected economic history of the Jewish people."
