| Summary: | In 1911, Werner Sombart, starting from (but also criticising Weber's categories, established that it was Judaism, rather than Puritanism, that contributed to the formation of modern capitalism. The reasoning involved in this goes back to "Natur der jüdischen Religion". Salo W. Baron seems to have been contaminated by this essentialist bug when he examines the destiny of the Jewish people in social and economic history: "The often sincere protagonists of ‘ethical monotheism’ saw themselves inescapably involved in some of the most nefarious practises of modem economic exploitation". Perhaps we should be taking Luzzatto seriously, when he suggests we see in the real economy a driving force in the life of society, and avoid seeing in the history of a people the essence of a nation, because these concepts bring in mind an applied historical Hegelianism that has had grim consequences for European and world history. |
