<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the wake of Bernie Madoff's ruinous investment schemes, Abe Foxman takes a cultural and political look at the many variations throughout history of the assumptions made about Jews and money. These include Jews as greedy global capitalists; Jews as wealthy secret communists; Jews as cheapskates; and Jews controlling the media with their money to unduly influence society. Foxman makes the case that these stereotypes have permeated cultures globally and argues that these beliefs are rooted in deep-seated and pervasive anti-Semitism. As with all forms of bigotry, society at large needs to respond to the persistence of stereotypes by educating the young, denouncing hate speech, and by encouraging Jews, like all groups, to express pride in their ethnic and religious heritage.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Lucid and authoritative" --<i>Publisher's Weekly</i> <p/>"Foxman made a genuine contribution and a worthy attempt to speak truth to nonsense..." --<i>The Jerusalem Post</i> <p/>"Indefatigable Anti-Defamation League director Foxman applies common sense against entrenched hatred, challenging patent bigotry with plain truths about Jews and money... A gentlemanly exhortation to communicate and get involved in the fight against an ancient evil. " --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Abe Foxman has written with significant insight on a stereotype that should be eradicated. His perspective clears a path towards enlightenment and is fascinating. A must-read." --<i>Donald J. Trump</i> <p/>"Foxman's book serves as an important wake-up call- alerting readers to continuing prejudice and stereotyping of Jews, both positively and negatively, which swirls around the mainstream of American culture. Jews and Money takes readers through an easy to digest and informative journey, documenting the origins and growth of bias and bigotry against Jews from birth of Christianity through current times, focusing on the subtle as well as blatant forms of prejudice today, and the role of the media and the internet." --<i>Andrew Tisch, Co-Chairman, Loews Corporation</i> <p/>"This book captures the historic complexity that remarkably remains an issue of keen sensitivity even today. The words Jews and money have an ugly resonance that most of us can't forget. Even for a subject that has been deeply explored, this book offers many new and worthwhile insights." --<i>Michael Steinhardt, Chairman of the Board of Israel Energy Initiatives Ltd, IDT Corporation</i> <p/>"Timely, sensible, and highly readable, this volume explodes popular myths concerning Jews and money, and reminds us that stereotypes matter and anti-Semitism remains a problem. Full of common sense ideas for how to make our world 'a more tolerant, open-minded, and freedom-loving place.'" --<i>Jonathan D. Sarna, Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University and author of American Judaism: A History</i> <p/>"Abe Foxman looks at some long-standing stereotypes about Jewish people that have no place in the business world, or any world for that matter. He provides important information that will educate others, combat bigotry, and promote religious and economic freedom." --<i>Rupert Murdoch, Chairman & CEO, News Corporation</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Abraham H.
