ABSTRACT
It is surprising to find that despite the enormity of the problem there is yet a great degree of unanimity in the different views about the Jews. As for the wealth of the Jews, that alone will hardly suffice to explain their great achievements in the sphere of economic activities. And since in the world of capitalism there is nothing organic or natural but only what is mechanical or artificial, the Jew's lack of understanding of the former is of no consequence. The purest form of capitalism is that wherein abstract ideas are most clearly expressed. The tendency of capitalism has been to do away with different manners, customs, pretty local and national contrasts, and to set up in their stead the dead level of the cosmopolitan town. The capitalistic undertaker must have three additional qualities: he must be active, sober and thorough.
