The reason that some go on about Jewish financial dominance is that because in some sense it actually exists (although unlike the anti-Semites/ZOG’ers I see no evidence that it is achieved with under-handed, coordinated, or conscious methods on the part of Jews as a group). The blogger race/history/evolution notes recently compiled two tables analyzing the ethnicity of the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans. The first two columns describe their share of the Forbes 400 list in 1987 and 2010, while the third calculates their total wealth as a share of everyone on that list.
n% (1987) | n% (2010) | wealth% (2010) | |
Northwestern European | 72 | 50.5 | 55.8 |
Jewish | 23 | 36 | 35.4 |
Italian | 2.25 | 4.25 | 2.6 |
East Asian | 0.25 | 2.0 | 1.6 |
Middle Eastern | 1.5 | 2.0 | 1.6 |
Greek | 0.5 | 1.75 | 1.2 |
Eastern European | 0.25 | 1.75 | 0.8 |
South Asian | 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.4 |
Hispanic | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0.2 |
Black | 0.0 | 0.25 | 0.2 |
Immediately striking of course is the presence of American Jews, who constitute more than a third of The 0.0001% by both wealth and number. We know of course that there is a correlation between intelligence and income though it’s not overly strong (about 0.3). An IQ of 120 or at most 130 is typically assumed to be the cutoff point at which additional gains in intelligence cease to have much of an effect on earning power.
