Jews in the German Economy: The German-Jewish Economic Elite 1820-1935

Jews in the German Economy: The German-Jewish Economic Elite 1820-1935 by Werner Eugen Mosse. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780198219675.

Although it is generally accepted that the Jewish entrepreneurship played a key role in the development of the German economy from the age of early industrialization to the rise of Hitler, little is known about this small and elite group. This study of German-Jewish families and their activities reveals the full nature of their contribution to German economic development at the level of the economic elite as well as within the context of the overall German economy. An important book on a largely unexplored subject, Jews in the German Economy brilliantly furthers our understanding of modern German social and economic history.
