"Recent financial crises, rising income inequality, and the acceleration of economic globalization have posed some new moral questions, but they have also prompted renewed interest in longstanding concerns of economic ethics. When is property private? What is usury? What are the motivations and implications of charity? Michael L. Satlow, along with an international team of experts, has produced an indispensable resource for understanding different ways in which Jewish authors have attempted to answer such questions since antiquity. Through clear translations and helpful introductions, this volume enables readers to explore intersections of Judaism and economic thought across nearly three millennia."
