After Marx
Werner Sombart praised Jews for their capitalism and presented the 17–18th century court Jews as integrated and a model for integration. By the turn of the 20th century, the debate was still widely discussed and raised to prominence by the Dreyfus Affair in France. Within the religious and political elite, some continued to favor assimilation and political engagement in Europe while others, such as Theodore Herzl, proposed the advancement of a separate Jewish state and the Zionist cause. Between 1880 and 1920, millions of other Jews sought their own solution for the pogroms of eastern Europe and emigrated to the United States and western Europe.
