Synopsis "The Economy in Jewish History: New Perspectives on the Interrelationship Between Ethnicity and Economic Life (in English)"
The theme...is a vitally important one, Reuvenis Prolegomena lays out a compelling interpretation of the field.... The volume as a whole is valuable in providing the reader with an overview of the engagement of Jews in the economy, or how Jews were imagined to participate in the economy, particularly in Europe. · Leora Auslander, University of Chicago This is an impressive essay collection that [offers] an innovative approach to modern Jewish history.... Another strong point is that several contributions are based on archival research and deal with little studied contexts, such as Africa or indeed Hungary. · Tobias Brinkmann, Penn State University Jewish historiography tends to stress the religious, cultural, and political aspects of the past. By contrast the economy has been pushed to the margins of the Jewish discourse and scholarship since the end of the Second World War. This volume takes a fresh look at Jews and the economy, arguing that a broader, cultural approach is needed to understand the central importance of the economy. The very dynamics of economy and its ability to function depend on the ability of individuals to interact, and on the shared values and norms that are fostered within ethnic communities. Thus this volume sheds new light on the interrelationship between religion, ethnicity, culture, and the economy, revealing the potential of an economic turn in the study of history. Gideon Reuveni is a Lecturer for modern European and Jewish history at the University of Melbourne. He is the author of Reading Germany
