Practical needs, egotism. The monotheism of the Jew is therefore actually a polytheism of many needs, and it makes even renunciation the object of divine law. The god of practical needs and private interest is money. Money is the zealous one God of Israel, beside which no other God may stand. Money degrades all the gods of mankind and turns them into commodities.
Money is the universal and self-constituted value set upon all things.
It has therefore robbed the whole world, of both nature and man, of its original value. Money is the essence of man's life and work, which have become alienated from him. This alien monster rules him and he worships it. The God of the Jews has become secularized and is now a worldly God. The bill of exchange is the Jew's real God.
