Features: The wealth of the world is in the pockets of the Jews, and the wealth of the Jews is in their own heads. Jews are recognized worldwide as a nation with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. With their unique business philosophy, commercial skills, and numerous super-rich individuals, they have become the world's businessmen. Why are Jews recognized as the world's best at making money? Why can Jews make money? How do Jews make money? Are Jews truly the chosen people of God? This book not only tells you why Jews can make money but also how they make money. To become a successful businessman, one must tap into the potential for making money like the Jews do, and understand how to make money through various legal means like the Jews. God prefers the wealthy.
For over 2,000 years, the Jewish people have wandered the world, enduring dispersion, persecution, and even murder yet remaining unassimilated, eventually becoming the dominant force in the world's economy and culture, with no other nation achieving this. Why have Jews been able to create such human miracles? Some theologians see it as the will of God, believing that the Bible sustains their spiritual world, as Jews always carry the Bible wherever they go. However, if Jews were to answer this question themselves, the answer might be just one word—money! Because money is the God of the Jews, at least in their real lives! For Jews, money is a more tangible secular God than the spiritual God of heaven. For those who value the present life and must rely on money to survive, money is the secular God—it ensures their physical survival, and only after their physical needs are met by this secular God can they worship the spiritual God and pursue a noble spiritual life.
There is a joke that perfectly illustrates this. The Einstein family was all baptized, but Salomon still wanted to marry into the family. Einstein was reluctant and said to Salomon, "Brother, we can't become in-laws. The reason is first, you are a Jew, and I am a Christian; second, you are as poor as a beggar, with no money at all. For us Jews, money is more important than anything else." From the joke, it's clear that Einstein's refusal was not because one was Jewish and the other Christian, but because one was rich and the other poor. Money is just that practically and truly important to Jews. The Jewish nation is a nation defined by money.
Another joke even more directly explains this. After a banker's son received his doctorate and converted to Christianity, the banker was heartbroken. One day, the banker saw his two grandsons cutting paper and asked them what they were playing. The grandsons said, "We're playing with the banker's money!" Hearing this, the old man was overjoyed, "The blood of the Jews still flows in my grandsons!"
Both jokes show that defining a Jew is not about what religion they follow but whether they love money. For money, they can even change their own faith—not really change it, because the faith of the Jews is money. (Newhouse), the most profitable publisher in the U.S. and the owner of the Newhouse Publishing Group, abandoned Judaism to make more money but was still seen as a Jew by the public. This is because people define Jews not by their religious beliefs but by their attitude toward money. Many others are like him, such as the famous London banker Ham (Hammel) and the Berliner (Bleichroeder). In situations where both religion and "money" cannot be had, Jews would rather give up religion than give up money! God is invisible and intangible, but only money is real and tangible. With money, Jews can survive; with money, Jews have won the world.
