The Economics in “The Jewish State”

Summary:
On his blog, Tyler Cowen summarizes the economics in Theodor Herzl’s “The Jewish State.” Herzl favored selling European homes and businesses of departing Jews and buying land in Argentina or Palestine, at a profit, through a land acquisition company incorporated in London. Poor Jews from Romania and Russia would supply cheap labor and be rewarded by their own houses eventually. Herzl favored short working weeks, a democratic monarchy or the aristocratic republic of Renaissance Venice.
