Why are Jews often considered the richest nation in the world? Do Jews possess financial and commercial secrets that are inaccessible to other peoples? How do they actually make money and do business? The history of Jews and their business is filled with myths, misconceptions and stereotypes, and the author of the book set out to find out which of them are based on truth and which are complete fiction. The book examines the attitude of Christians and Jews to business and wealth, the role of Jews in the financial world, their business practices and secrets of success, stories of scandalous figures such as the creator of the largest financial pyramid, Bernard Madoff. The author is not afraid of provocative topics, but his research is very reasoned, based on many historical facts and modern observations. This is a history of Jews and money unknown to the general public. The book is intended for a wide range of readers. Translation: A. Zayakin
