Maybe I can offer you a different perspective. Jews have a culture built around things that are highly correlated with professional success (family, community ties, academic achievement, critical thinking, etc.) As a result Jews are over-represented in all fields - medicine, law, literature, media, science, engineering, and yes, banking. There is no conspiracy, they just get up earlier, work harder, sacrifice today so that their children will be better off tomorrow, build community structures that lift everyone up, etc. Most people that don't like them are just jealous. I prefer to learn from them instead of being a whiny little bitch.
Totally agree that as a result of historically not having a land base Jews quite logically developed portable non land based skills and wealth in the professions. The historical exemption that Jews enjoyed allowed them to specialise in money lending/usury. Christians and Muslim were at most times largely prohibited from engaging in the business of moneylending/usury and so Jews enjoyed a near monopoly and developed it to their full advantage.
That advantage remains today and gives them power and leverage globally and in particular over the US government.
