“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own
the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create
money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to
buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great
fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this
would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to
remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let
them continue to create money.” –
Sir Josiah Stamp, Director of the
Bank of England (appointed 1928) and reputed to be the 2nd wealthiest
man in England at that time.
