When Ein­stein Met Kaf­ka is a cul­tur­al and his­tor­i­cal essay con­tain­ing the main con­tri­bu­tions of Jews to the mod­ern world (19th, 20th, and 21st cen­turies). Moldes’ book cov­ers about 250 years and cites hun­dreds of Jews who made sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to the sci­ences and human­i­ties. There is no book in Eng­lish or any oth­er lan­guage like Diego Moldes’, which exam­ines the con­tri­bu­tions of Jews as indi­vid­u­als (not as a reli­gious peo­ple) to all fields of knowl­edge in Moder­ni­ty. The book con­tains exten­sive chap­ters on: Edu­ca­tion and Judaism, Anti­semitism, Jew­ish Iden­ti­ty; Mod­ern Genius­es of Human­i­ty (“Overe­d­u­ca­tion”); Sci­ence and Inven­tions; Lit­er­a­ture and Cul­ture; Phi­los­o­phy, His­to­ry, and Thought; Busi­ness, Bank­ing, and the World of Finance; Com­put­ing and the Inter­net; Fash­ion, the Tex­tile Indus­try, Cos­met­ics, and Retail; Sports; Cin­e­ma, Tele­vi­sion, Music, and Enter­tain­ment; Comics; Art; Mod­ern Archi­tec­ture; The Pub­lish­ing Indus­try; Jour­nal­ism; Pho­tog­ra­phy; Media and Adver­tis­ing; Jus­tice and Pol­i­tics; Fem­i­nism; Non-Gov­ern­men­tal Orga­ni­za­tions (NGOs) and Con­clu­sions. This book is schol­ar­ly and high­ly infor­ma­tive in his­tor­i­cal, cul­tur­al, and essay­is­tic terms, the fruit of more than 25 years of research.
