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.

Each piece of money is a mere coin, or means of circulation, only so long as it actually circulates.

Although gold and silver are not by nature money, money is by nature gold and silver.

Money plays the largest part in determining the course of history.

Exchange value forms the substance of money, and exchange value is wealth.

Very well then; emancipation from usury and money, that is, from practical, real Judaism, would constitute the emancipation of our time.
