Ricardo as Spinoza: Secularization, Semitism, and Political Economy


Go to Article

We're pleased to announce the publication of a new article by Samuel Hayim Brody in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion!

Entitled "Ricardo as Spinoza: Secularization, Semitism, and Political Economy," the article deals with the efforts by both philosemites and antisemites to describe the work of the classical economist David Ricardo (1772-1832) as "Jewish," even though he left the Jewish community as a young man and apparently had little Jewish education.
