ok, more spurious noise. either jews are successful at business and tough stuff, or they are just ordinary and humdrum. They either bank and do media well, and lots of it or they are middle of the road. Being a clever lot, they may have equally clever criminals to compete with anyone. Sticking together for many years, they have unusual cohesivenes in the face of adversity and a high degree if agressive social integrity despite far flung geography. Now they either do this or they are so-so at it. Which would you rather have? So do they stand out in certain areas or are they just like anybody else? You could take any trait as positive or negative I guess.
So go for it, what is the lowdown?
No doubt you wish to deny any "over-representedness" that people carp at. Kind of silly to deny it. If you were to say that historic Jewish influence was not major in European business since 700 AD or that Jews were not in the savings and loan industry for a long time and deeply too, I would have to say that you are really not reading the words on the page in the right order. So people criticise it. What did you expect?
Denial may be a river in Egypt. And on the boat floating down the river are two Jewish doctors, ditto an accountant (who loaned the lawyer the money for the boat), a lawyer, a banker, goldsmith, one is hawking hula hoops to the people on the bank, one is writing a book on the subject, one is playing the violin, and one is making a movie reel about it. They all sold their shares in the boat, just before the fire and the bankruptcy.
