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.
