This lucidly written study is unique in that there is no book extant by an economic historian that discusses Talmudic economics in the light of modern economics. Its major focus is on the intricate debates, statements and principles that were forged by the Talmudic Rabbis. This ancient storehouse of learning includes a wealth of economic knowledge of modern sophistication. The book taps these "economic treasures" by way of analytic inquiry. The authors, both economic historians and economists, through their study of the original dialectics in the Talmud, were able to discern a wide range of macro- and micro-economic ideas of major significance. These concepts when viewed from either a contemporary or a modern perspective, display an extraordinary degree of insight and sophistication. Indeed, sections of the Talmud and the reflections of subsequent commentators on those passages, embody a wealth of economic thought that was later to become significant in the reasoning of political economists, or of their professional academic successors.
The book provides thirty cases from which to choose. Each of the cases is based on real situations-no armchaired situations exist. The cases are long enough to give adequate data for analysis but not so long so as to be cumbersome. The number and variety of cases, issues, types of operations, levels of sophistication, levels of management addressed, and so forth, assure that this book can be used at any level by any instructor who believes in and appreciates the value of case analysis as a teaching technique. Discussion Motivators are included in Appendix B. This component fills a market demand for increasing class interaction on topics which are difficult to cover in any other way. The book also contains numerous problems for practice, illustrations, and homework.
