From the rear cover
"A groundbreaking work. . . . Penslar persuasively demonstrates that economic issues, or 'political economy, ' had a profound impact on the shape and character of Jewish self-understanding. . . . It will be required reading for all scholars . . . . [and] will also capture the attention of a general audience."--David Sorkin, author of Moses Mendelssohn and the Religious Enlightenment
"A major contribution. . . . Placing economics at the center of modern European Jewish history, Penslar presents an original interpretation of the critical issues of modern Jewish history: emancipation, social mobility, anti-Semitism, and the construction of new identities."--Paula E. Hyman, author of The Jews of Modern France
