The Jews were prohibited from lending money at interest--- but to other Jews.
So economic development was very constrained until the Protestants came along.
I do not think that all Jews, or even most Jews, got rich from lending money.
Jews were permitted only a few careers, such as buying and selling used stuff, clothing in particular. From there tailoring became a common profession. They also pioneered the pawnshop business and that is how they got into the diamond cutting trade.
The less control the Church had over the people, the more careers opened up for Jews.
Governors get carried away with their intellectual significance and begin to ignore their genetic time being alive now.
