Capitalism, Socialism, and the Jews

Why have the Jewish people, who seem to have benefited greatly from capitalism, contributed disproportionately to socialist literature? Although the question remains unanswered, Dr. Milton Friedman, a secular Jew himself, offers some fascinating observations. Dr. Friedman gave a lecture entitled, "Capitalism and the Jews" at the University of Chicago in 1978. Listen here: http://www.law.uchicago.edu/audio/by/... For a contemporary neoconservative point of view, read "Why Are Jews Liberals?" by Norman Podhoretz, also Jewish, in the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001... http://www.commentarymagazine.com/art... http://pajamasmedia.com/ronrosenbaum/... From the American Thinker: "The Anti-Defamation League pushes a leftist agenda in the guise of fighting anti-Semitism and bigotry." http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/1... Also, FrontPage Magazine has a good article titled, 'See No Anti-Semitism, Hear No Anti-Semitism.' Read it here: http://frontpagemag.com/2010/03/01/se...
