this tendency in the transition from that stage of competition to imperialist
capitalism. We have already discussed the effects of concentration and cen-
tralization of capital in the process of monopoly formation on small capital-
ists and the petty bourgeoisie, more specifically, how the new role of banking
in the age of finance capital erases the role of money lender and displaces
money capitalists.
Finally, the explanation of this tendency culminates in the observation
expressed by Leon Trotsky, where he says:
"Capitalism has ruined the petty bourgeoisie at a much
faster rate than it has proletarianized it. Furthermore,
the bourgeois state has long directed its conscious policy
toward the artificial maintenance of petty bourgeois strata.
At the opposite pole, the growth of technology and the
rationalization of large-scale industry engenders chronic
unemployment and obstructs the proletarianization of the
petty bourgeoisie....However, the artificial preservation
of antiquated petty bourgeois strata no-wise mitigates the
social contradictions, but on the contrary, invests them
with an especial malignancy and together with the permanent
army of the unemployed, constitutes the most malevolent ex-
pression of the decay of capitalism." 55

bourgeoisie in general, and the Jewish masses in particular.

tion, not in landlessness, as Borochov tries hard to lead us to believe.
fhe genuine materialist conception of history leads us to the
conclusion that a lasting solution to the Jewish question lies essentially
