Jewish Question: A Marxist Interpretation

Traces the historical rationalizations of anti-Semitism to the fact that, in the centuries preceding the domination of industrial capitalism, Jews emerged as a "people-class" of merchants, moneylenders, and traders. Leon explains why the propertied rulers incite renewed Jew-hatred in the epoch of capitalism's decline.

"As if his exemplary life wasn't enough, with The Jewish Question Abram Leon left us a piece of work that is an honor to his intellect and honesty. I can't emphasize how much I learned and enjoyed reading it." -René González Sehwerert, Dec. 1, 2005

(René González Sehwerert is one of the "Cuban Five"-revolutionists from Cuba jailed in the U.S. on frameup charges of "espionage.")
