Jewish Economies (Volume 1): Development and Migration in America and Beyond: The Economic Life of American Jewry

Nobel Laureate Simon Kuznets pioneered the quantitative study of the economic history of the Jews. These volumes bring to the public, for the first time, the most important work written on Jewish economic history since that of Werner Sombart a century ago. Kuznets measures quantitatively the legendary economic success of American Jews and discusses the foundations of these achievements.
