Description max 80 words

This 1920 compilation presents controversial arguments regarding Jewish influence on global finance, politics, and culture. Drawing from *The Dearborn Independent*, the text asserts a coordinated Jewish world program, links Bolshevism to Jewish interests, and claims Jewish control over international trade and media. The tone is alarmist and accusatory, aiming to persuade readers of a perceived existential threat to Anglo-Saxon civilization.

Published in November 1920, *The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem* (Volume I) compiles articles originally featured in *The Dearborn Independent*. Authored by William John Cameron and Henry Ford, the text investigates what the authors term the 'Jewish Question,' arguing that Jews, despite comprising a small percentage of the global population, disproportionately control world finance, industry, and the press. The work posits that Jewish solidarity allows this dominance to persist despite legal disabilities and persecution. A central thesis is that Bolshevism in Russia was not a spontaneous uprising but a calculated investment by international Jewish finance designed to seize control of the proletariat and destroy capitalism. The authors distinguish between 'rich' Jewish financiers and 'poor' Jews, suggesting the former use the latter as a shield while maintaining separate methods of gaining power. The text extensively references the *Protocols of the Elders of Zion*, presenting them as a genuine blueprint for a Jewish world government. According to the authors, the Protocols reveal a strategy to divide Gentile societies through conflicting ideologies, secret societies, and the promotion of socialism and communism. The book claims that Jewish leaders in Europe and Russia embraced revolutionary causes to advance the interests of their race. It argues that modern unrest, economic instability, and social fragmentation are symptoms of a deliberate disintegration plan. The authors assert that the 'Jewish Question' touches financial control, political power, and the monopoly of news, reaching into cultural regions to threaten the heart of American life. They contend that the 'Jewish enigma' involves a race that is poor in its masses yet controls world finances, scattered without a country yet presenting racial unity, and living under legal disabilities while remaining the power behind many thrones. The volume urges readers to recognize this alleged threat before it is too late, presenting the investigation as a means to make facts known rather than an act of prejudice.
