by WernerSombart (Author), Werner Sombart (Author)
Since its first appearance in Germany in 1911, Jews and Modern Capitalism has provoked vehement criticism. As Samuel Z. Klausner emphasizes, the lasting value of Sombart's work rests not in his results-most of which have long since been disproved-but in his point of departure. Openly acknowledging his debt to Max Weber, Sombart set out to prove the double thesis of the Jewish foundation of capitalism and the capitalist foundation of Judaism. Klausner, placing Sombart's work in its historical and societal context, examines the weaknesses and strengths of Jews and Modern Capitalism.

[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.
