Lately, the researchers of Jewish social and cultural history turned their attention to economic issues and produced some news collections of essays and monographs, the remarkable feature of which is a shift to the questions of interaction among religiosity, culture, economics, and politics. In a review article the author analyses three recent books, dedicated to economic Jewish history: David Schick “Vertrauen, Religion, Ethnizität: Die Wirtschaftsnetzwerke jüdischer Unternehmer im späten Zarenreich” (2017); Michael R. Cohen “Cotton Capitalists: American Jewish Entrepreneurship in the Reconstruction Era” (2017) and Cornelia Aust “The Jewish Economic Elite: Making Modern Europe” (2018).
