    German-Jewish Economic Elite, 1900 – 1933.

    A sociological research paper by Dr Paul Windolf.

    In the early twentieth century, a dense corporate network was created among the large German corporations ("Germany Inc.").

    About 16% of the members of the post WWI network of German Corporations had a Jewish background. About 25% were Jewish at the center of the network. The percentage of Jews in the general population was less than 1% in 1914.

    What comparative advantages did the Jewish minority enjoy that enabled them to succeed in the competition for leading positions in the German economy?

    Three hypotheses are tested:
    1 The Jewish economic elite had a better education compared to the non-Jewish members of the network (human capital).
    2 Jewish members had a central position in the corporate network, because many of them were engaged in finance and banking.
    3 Jewish members created a network of their own that was separate from the overarching corporate network (social capital). The density of this Jewish network was higher than that of the non-Jewish economic elite (embeddedness).

    Our data do not support any of these hypotheses. The observed correlation between Jewish background and economic success cannot be explained by a higher level of education, a higher level of social capital, or a higher proportion of Jewish managers engaged in (private) banking.

    Would Jewish exclusionary networking explain the reactionary populist German explosion of the 1930's?

    Are they doing it yet again?

    They knew they had a problem.

    The "Association of German National Jews" and the Jewish "German Vanguard" both supported Hitler in their time.

    Two of the Association's stated goals were assimilation of Jews into German society (as Windolf indicates, by the early 1930's, they already certainly had great power to achieve that but it apparently wasn't enough, and it probably just apology anyway); and "self-eradication" of Jewish identity.

    They credit themselves for opposing "the Jewish boycott of German goods". Which Germans would that have been? One has to wonder if this wasn't two sides of the same ethnic group playing the middle.

    At any rate, "the German government did not accept their goal of assimilation" [which was BS], and The Association "was declared illegal and dissolved" in 1935.

    One reason suggested as to why these German Jews (no number given) supported Hitler "may have been that they thought that his antisemitism only was for the purpose of "stirring up the masses".

    "Stirring up the masses"? Does that sound likely or even like a good idea?

    Its all simple really. Jews work harder and are more focused on goals. Education and family is very important to them. I am not Jewish but I have great respect for them and their business successes. I would rather work for a Jewish boss than for someone who believes Bernie Sanders is the salvation of America.

    Bernie Sanders is jewish. So, you would work for him?

    I have never heard anyone say they thought he was America's salvation.
