While it is true that in the middle ages, Italian Jews held a predominant monopoly in banking, this was only because of the long standing Christian taboos concerning finance. For the first one thousand five hundred years of Christianity, working in a Bank was considered a greater sin than being openly gay. But since the protestant reformation, the Jewish monopoly in these matters has shrunk considerably. For that last hundred years, State owned Banks (such as the Federal Reserve) have come to control the lion share of world finances.
