Sobre IBD

Joseph Jacobs was a thinker and writer of unusual breadth and versatility. Among the subjects to which he gave his attention as early as 1886 was the comparative distribution of Jewish ability, as the result of researches he had undertaken in association with Sir Francis Galton. The present work was the natural outcome of these studies which appeared in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute.Contents:Prefatory StatementIntroduction: The Higher Anti-SemitismThe People of the BookThe Church and the JewsJews Become EuropeansMedieval Jews as Intellectual IntermediariesInfluence of Jewish Thought in the Middle AgesJews and CommerceJews and CapitalismExcursus on SombartThe Breakdown of the Church EmpireJews and LiberalismIndex
