"This is an economic history of SA Jewry stretching back to the late 1700's early 1800's. It details our ancestors role in the early agricultural economy through the itinerant peddlers or 'smouses' to the mining Randlords to the contributions to the financial, fashion and retailing sectors to name just a few. This is a well researched book by the eponymous benefactor of the Jewish Studies department at the University of Cape Town."
