New Jewish history book provides understanding of capitalism, anti-Semitism
It's impossible to understand the history of anti-Semitism, or of capitalism, without taking a non-ideological look at political theories on Jewish economics. That's the view of Jonathan Karp, a faculty member at Binghamton University and author of a new book, "The Politics of Jewish Commerce: Economic Thought and Emancipation in Europe, 1638-1848."
