SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Karp shows the centrality of economic rationales to debates on Jews' status in Italy, Britain, France and Germany during the course of two centuries and delineates the common themes that informed these debates - the ideal republic and the 'ancient constitution', the conflict between virtue and commerce, and the notion of useful labour.
