Jews, Money, Myth explores the role of money in Jewish life and its often vexed place in relations between Jews and non-Jews, from the time of Jesus to the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\nIt examines the origins of some of the longest running and deeply entrenched antisemitic stereotypes: the theological roots of the association of Jews with money; the myths and reality of the medieval Jewish moneylender; and the place of Jews \u2013 real and imagined \u2013 in commerce, capitalism and finance up to the present day.<\/p>\n
