The Jew Marx [1973]

I propose to crystallize the Jewishness of Karl Marx’s historical roots in the biographical as well as doctrinal sense, and I will, additionally, demonstrate the coincidence of some of the most important economic teachings of Marx and of Jewish law. I perform this task by means of an analytical critique of the relevant recent literature in Part I and, in Part II, by a new contribution to this literature of a comparative study of Jewish law on financial interest with its equivalent in the third volume of Das Kapital.
