Jewish Entrepreneurship in Salonica, 1912-1940: An Ethnic Economy in Transition Orly C. Meron Orly Meron reveals as never before Salonica's Jewish-owned economy between the years 1912-1940, during Greece's national consolidation period. Based on original archival materials, she presents her comprehensive, comparative, and inter-ethnic study of Jewish entrepreneurial patterns. The macro analysis combines a comparative static overview of Salonica's Jewish vs. Greek business behavior, together with a comparative analysis focusing on transitions in Jewish entrepreneurial patterns. The micro analysis delves into features of Salonica's Jewish business elite: class resources, family and ethnic networks, business strategies and organizational structures. Her Study sheds new light on the economic history of the Salonica's Sephardic Jewish community before the Holocaust. Orly Meron is a Senior Lecturer in the Jewish History Department and the Interdisciplinary Department for Social Sciences at Bar-Ilan University, Israel.
