'Andrew Godley has produced that rarity: a genuinely rigorous study of the economic role of culture...This is a superbly executed monograph which will be read with admiration and interest not only by economic historians, but also by social and cultural historians - to say nothing of historians of the Jewish diaspora.' - Niall Ferguson, Professor of Political and Financial History, Oxford, and author of The World's Banker: The History of the House of Rothschild '...the research is excellent...' - Journal of American Ethnic History '...the book will certainly be of value to scholars working on the history of Jewish immigration to Britain during the late nineteenth century as it provides useful statistical information and opens a new avenue of investigation. The author also deserves praise for his confidence in linking so many different strands...' - Panikos Panayi, De Montfort University, Leicester, The Economic History Review 'This highly original and imaginative work ought to be of considerable interest to an unusually wide range of historians and social scientists.' - William D. Rubinstein, English Historical Review 'Accessible, concise, provocative, stimulating...space should be made on their book shelves for this volume by all those who study migration as well as of those who research economic and ethnic history.' - Anne J. Kershen, Queen Mary University of London 'He tackles a major topic in economic history and in the process makes a valuable contribution to ethnic history.' - Richard Jensen, Journal of American Ethnic History
