To read The New Jew is to read into the heart of the modern world!

This book humorously explores the history of Jews as the hidden architects of modern capitalism and the developers of technological civilization.
You can enjoy it as if you were traveling through time from the birth of capitalism to the present day.

The development of trust-based financial techniques such as bills of exchange in the Middle Ages was possible thanks to trade between the Islamic world and the Jewish diaspora in distant places such as Europe.
It was thanks to Jewish traders that the Netherlands in the early modern period flourished with mercantilism, established the first joint-stock company, the East India Company in 1602, established the forerunner of a central bank and a stock exchange, and was able to build a trade network around the world.
Britain's transformation from a backward country dependent on wool exports and piracy to a center of world trade and finance was largely due to the immigration of Jewish merchants and financiers during the English Wars and the Glorious Revolution.
After that, Britain was able to carry out the Industrial Revolution thanks to the capital power and low-interest loans of Jewish financiers.
It has transformed the level of the loan industry into a global financial industry.
The creation of digital currencies like Bitcoin is also thanks to Jewish cryptographers.


It has exerted unparalleled influence and led development not only in the economy and finance but also in the fields of IT, medicine, and science and technology.
The original technology for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which are essential items in our lives today, was also invented by Hedy Lamarr, a Jewish actress.
The person who created today's computer was also a Jew, John von Neumann.
David Sarnoff, a Jew, also started radio and television broadcasting, and six of the seven Hollywood studios that were integrated after World War I were founded by Jews.
Moreover, many of the key players in the recent development of coronavirus vaccines are Jewish.
It was also the Jews who developed the childhood vaccine virus and discovered blood types, ending the nightmare of blood transfusions.


How the New Jewish Power that Drives Modern Society Was Created
The spirit of Tikkun Olam, the spirit of Chesed, the spirit of Tzedakah, the spirit of Chutzpah, and the culture of Davka!

So, are the Jews the most blessed people among mankind? Did they possess superior bloodlines from the beginning? No.
Rather, it is the opposite.
The Jews are the most persecuted people in humanity.
They were constantly targeted by hatred, slaughtered in the Holocaust, and driven from their homes, leaving behind everything they had accomplished.
But they kept getting back up again and again.
It wasn't just about survival, but starting from zero in a barren wasteland and making great strides.
It was like an oyster holding a pearl.
Each time, wealth and money from all over the world followed them, and their settlements became the centers of the world.
Spain did it, the Netherlands did it, England did it, and now the United States does it.
They are the people who overcome hardships the best and have the greatest grit to get back up even when they fall.


The dominant civilizations in world history lasted from 500 to 1,000 years.
But Jewish influence remains strong.
They lead Wall Street, the center of the global financial market, and created the IT industry with companies like Google, Facebook, and Oracle. They also created the film industry and account for most of the Hollywood producers.
It is a leading force in the development of the distribution industry, especially department stores, and is also leading the tourism industry.
It also leads most service industries, including the media, medical, legal, consulting, fashion, jewelry, and beauty industries.


How on earth did the Jewish people gain such power? First, we can consider the hardships and adversities they alone endured.
There is a unique spirit and culture that was created in the process of overcoming those hardships and adversities.
These are the spirit of Tikkun Olam, the spirit of Chesed, the spirit of Tzedakah, the spirit of Chutzpah, and the culture of Davka.

According to the philosophy of Tikkun Olam, the world is not something that is “as it is,” but something that “needs to be improved.”
According to Jewish belief, humans are partners with God and have a responsibility and duty to assist in God's ongoing creative work and make this world a better place.
In this way, we are constantly learning and trying to create a better world.
This is the reason why it is ahead of the development of medicine or technology.
Hesed is the Hebrew word for mercy or grace, and means "to help willingly without expecting anything in return."
It means leading each other with a sense of community and helping each other with dedication.
The spirit of tzedakah is to care for the weak within the community and is also the most important fundamental spirit of the law.
There is no word for 'charity' in Hebrew.
Because caring for the weak is such a natural thing.
That's why they don't call it charity, but 'justice (tzedakah)'.
The chutzpah spirit is that everyone is equal before God.
This idea of ​​equality has created a horizontal culture, where anyone can discuss freely without authoritarianism.
Additionally, the Dabka culture means not holding people accountable or blaming them even if they fail.
Davka means 'nevertheless' in Hebrew, meaning that it is okay to fail.
Because everyone thinks that success comes through failure.
This Dabka culture is what makes the startup ecosystem so vibrant.
