Abstract
This chapter explores the influence of German and Jewish traditions of cosmopolitan thought on Mann’s approach to the law of money, in particular. The overarching hypothesis of the chapter is that Mann was both a German conservative lawyer avant la lettre and a child, if not a grandchild, of Jewish/German cosmopolitanism, and the manner in which he wove together money and law remains very Jewish, German, and cosmopolitan. While drawing parallels to two other German-Jewish thinkers—Karl Marx and Georg Simmel—the chapter argues that Mann’s legal approach to money attempts to rehabilitate both ‘money’ and ‘the Jew’ through law.
