This is a deeply personal memoir by the doyen of applied economics
in the United States. His name is indelibly linked to the creation,
expansion, and refinement of employment policy and human resource
needs from 1935 to the present. Eli Ginzberg has been a longtime
consultant to the federal government, including nine presidents. In
this volume, the focus is on American Jewry in the present century
from the perspective of an active participant observer and a
critical social science based analyst.My Brother's Keeper deals
with the changing position of American Jewry in the twentieth
century. Ginzberg makes extensive use of his own experiences to
review the changes that have taken place in urban life, university
involvement, and government agencies. The work covers Jewish life
from pre-Hitler Germany to the present, and discusses with intimate
candor synagogue life. Drawing upon his unique vantage point,
Ginzberg presents new material about many leaders and events that
helped transform the role of American Jews in their relationship
with other Americans and Israel. At a more conceptual level the
author explores major new influences that have reshaped American
Jewry, such as the rise of neo-orthodoxy, the substantial increase
in Jewish day schools, the blossoming of Judaica studies in
American universities, and the rise of women in leadership
roles.This memoir makes use of the best social science evidence,
and draws on the special experiences of the author in the world of
a deeply religious family and tradition. It ranks as a major
contribution to the small shelf of self-reflections by social
scientists.
