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. 606 $aEconomics$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 615 0$aEconomics$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 676 $a296.1/206 700 $aOhrenstein$b Roman A$01634639 701 $aGordon$b Barry$g(Barry Lewis John)$01634640 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815176703321 996 $aEconomic analysis in Talmudic literature$93974965 997 $aUNINA
