He recovers the potent anti-Jewish, anticapitalist propaganda that cemented the idea of a Jewish conspiracy in the European mind and ocnnects it to the atrocities that characterized the Jewish experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beginning in the eighteenth century, counter-Enlightenment intellectuals and intrasigent Catholic writers singled out Jews for conspiring to exploit self-sustaining markets and the liberal state. These ideas spread among socialist and labor movements in the nineteenth century and intensified during the Long Depression of the 1870s. Anti-Jewish anticapitalism then migrated to the Habsburg Empire with the Christian Social Party; to Germany with the Anti-Semitic Leagues; to France with the nationalist movements; and to Italy, where Revolutionary Syndicalists made anti-Jewish anticapitalism the basis of an alliance with the nationalists. Exemplified best in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the infamous document that "leaked" Jewish plans to conquer the world, the Jewish plans to conquer the world, the Jewish-conspiracy myth inverts reality and creates a perverse relationship to historical and judicial truth. Isolating the intellectual roots of this phenomenon and its contemporary resonances, Battini shows us why, so many decades after the Holocaust, Jewish people continue to be a powerful political target. -- from dust jacket. 546 Translated from the Italian. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Antisemitism |zEurope |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Antisemitism |zEurope |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Judaism |xRelations |xChristianity. 650 0 Christianity and other religions |xJudaism. 650 0 Christianity and antisemitism |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Christianity and antisemitism |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Capitalism |zEurope |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Capitalism |zEurope |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jews |xPersecutions |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Jews |xPersecutions |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Antisemitism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00810769 650 7 Capitalism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00846425 650 7 Christianity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00859599 650 7 Christianity and antisemitism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00859644 650 7 Interfaith relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353343 650 7 Jews |xPersecutions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983322 650 7 Judaism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00984280 651 7 Europe. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01245064 650 7 Antisemitismus. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4002333-3 648 7 1800-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iebook version : |z9780231541329 852 0 |bstacks |hDS146.E85 |iB3813 2016 |tc. 1 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS146.E85 |iB3813 2016 |tc. 2
