“What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money … Money is the jealous god of Israel… Money degrades all the gods of man—and turns them into commodities … The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. … The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant…”
— Karl Marx, On the Jewish Question (Part II), 1844
