An Economy of Strangers: Jews and Finance in England, 1650-1830 (Jewish Culture and Contexts)

An Economy of Strangers: Jews and Finance in England, 1650-1830 (Jewish Culture and Contexts) by Avinoam Yuval-Naeh
English | January 9th, 2024 | ISBN: 1512825050 | 264 pages | True EPUB | 6.82 MB

One of the most persistent, powerful, and dangerous notions in the history of the Jews in the diaspora is the prodigious talent attributed to them in all things economic. From the medieval Jewish usurer through the early-modern port-Jew and court-Jew to the grand financier of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and contemporary investors, Jews loom large in the economic imagination. For capitalists and Marxists, libertarians and radical reformers, Jews are intertwined with the economy. This association has become so natural that we often overlook the history behind the making and remaking of the complex cluster of perceptions about Jews and economy, which emerged within different historical contexts to meet a variety of personal and societal anxieties and needs.
