Sombart's Legacy: Capitalism, Socialism, and Jewish Influence

This chapter explores the intellectual contributions of Werner Sombart and his influential role in shaping the discourse around capitalism and socialism in Europe. It contrasts Sombart's ideas with those of Marx and Weber, particularly focusing on Jewish economic behavior and its implications within capitalist frameworks. The discussion also highlights Sombart's critiques and the socio-political context of revolutionary movements, illustrating the evolution of social thought from the 16th century onwards.
