Die Juden und das Wirtschaftsleben
Leipzig: Verlag von Duncker & Humblot, 1911. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto. XXVI, 476pp. Original half vellum over paper covered boards, with gold lettering on spine. Colored endpapers. Printer's device on title-page. Ribbon marker. This fascinating work on Jews and the economy is a pendant to Max Weber's study on the connection between Protestantism (especially Calvinism) and Capitalism, only that Sombart puts the Jews at the core of the development. This book was seen as philosemitic when it appeared, but several contemporary Jewish scholars describe it as antisemitic, at least in effect. Minor soiling, rubbing and age-toning on binding. Previous owner's signature on half-title and title-page. Text in German. Binding in overall good, interior in very good condition. g. Item #25937
