The task of abolishing the essence of Jewry is in truth the task of abolishing Jewry in civil society, abolishing the inhumanity of today's practice of life, the summit of which is the money system.

Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.

The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.

The circulation of commodities is the original precondition of the circulation of money.

It might otherwise appear paradoxical that money can be replaced by worthless paper; but that the slightest alloying of its metallic content depreciates it.

Money degrades all the gods of man and converts them into commodities.
