The Politics of Jewish Commerce : Economic Thought and Emancipation in Europe, 1638-1848 (9780521873932)



This study demonstrates the centrality of economic rationales to debates on Jews' status in Italy, Britain, France and Germany during the course of two centuries. It delineates the common themes that informed these debates - the ideal republic and the 'ancient constitution', the conflict between virtue and commerce, and the notion of useful and productive labor. It thus provides an overview of the political-economic dimensions of Jewish emancipation literature of this period. This overview is viewed against the backdrop of broader controversies within European society over the effects of commerce on inherited political values and institutions. By focusing on economic attitudes toward Jews, the book also illuminates European intellectual approaches toward economic modernity. By elucidating these general debates, it renders more contemporary Jewish economic self-conceptions - and the enormous impetus that Jewish reformist movements placed on the Jews' economic and occupational transformation - fully explicable.

Thank You for Being Late : Ein optimistisches Handbuch für das Zeitalter der Beschleunigung (9783785726037)

Intelligente Mülleimer, Kühe mit Schrittzählern, selbstfahrende Autos: Einst Fiktion, heute Fakt. Noch dazu Symptome größerer Umwälzungen, die alle Lebensbereiche betreffen und sich im Tempo geradezu überschlagen. Wer soll sich da noch auskennen ... New York Times-Kolumnist Thomas L. Friedman weiß Rat: In seinem neuen Buch erklärt er die jüngsten Entwicklungen in Technologie, Gesellschaft und Umwelt und zeigt, dass auch in einer zunehmend komplexen Welt Anlass zu Optimismus besteht. Statt abzuschalten, lädt Friedman zu einem Moment des Innehaltens ein. Sein Credo: Wir müssen rasten und reflektieren statt rosten und resignieren. Product details Format Hardback | 480 pages ...
