Description
Résumé:This paper employs the high economic performance of the orthodox kibbutzim in Israel as a standard for evaluating, within socialist parameters, several classical sociological theories regarding Judaism's ability to stimulate economic performance. Marx's appraisal of Judaism proves to be double-edged. Sombart's and Weber's respective assessments imply the possibility of Jewish economic success within a religious socialist framework — Sombart's specifically, and Weber's within the broad parameters of his conceptual framework. The complete theoretical pattern for an orthodox Jewish socialist society was contoured by Marx's erstwhile colleague, Moses Hess.
