Dr. Jacques Attali dedicates this extensive work to elucidating the historical stages of Jewish relationships with other human groups and money, the lifeblood of life. Starting from 2000 BC to present day, he even attempts to foresee the situation around 2050.

The author poses numerous questions, some of which are provocative, and answers them himself, presenting both supportive and opposing views, allowing the reader to choose freely. However, Attali seems to sympathize with the Jews each time.
