The Jews And Modern Capitalism by Werner Sombart
This work argues that Jewish communities, shaped by diasporic dispersion, legal restrictions, literacy, and transnational networks, played a disproportionately formative role in the emergence of modern capitalist institutions; tracing developments from medieval commerce through the rise of merchant and credit systems into industrial capitalism, it examines how occupational specialization, urban concentration, and cultural-religious practices fostered skills and institutions—trade, finance, and credit—that helped transform European economies, while also considering the social dynamics, tensions, and controversies surrounding those contributions.
