قامت رابطة مكافحة التشهير بتوثيق العديد من القوانين المعادية للسامية المتعلقة باليهود والأعمال المصرفية، بما في ذلك الأسطورة القائلة بأن البنوك العالمية تهيمن عليها عائلة روتشيلد ، بأن اليهود يسيطرون على وول ستريت، وأن اليهود يسيطرون على الاحتياطي الفيدرالي للولايات المتحدة.
في مقال كتبه الناشط المناهض للعنصرية تيم وايز حول مثل هذه الاتهامات بالتحكم المالي اليهودي، كتب:
«Of course, in keeping with the logic of anti-Jewish bigots, perhaps one should ask the following: If media or financial wrongdoing is Jewish inspired, since Jews are prominent in media and finance, should the depredations of white Christian-dominated industries (like the tobacco or automobile industries) be viewed as examples of white Christian ارتكاب فعل ضار? After all, 400,000 people per year die because of smoking-related illnesses, and tobacco companies withheld information on the cancerous properties of their products. Likewise, should executives at Ford and Firestone be thought of as specifically white Christian criminals, due to recent disclosures that defective tires were installed on SUV’s, resulting in the deaths of over 150 people worldwide? Is their race, religion or ethnic culture relevant to their misdeeds? If not, why is it suddenly relevant when the executives in question are Jewish?"»
