"I am afraid that ordinary citizens will not like to be told that the banks can, and do, create and destroy money; and they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people."
-- Richard McKenna, Chairman, Midland Bank, London UK, Addressing Shareholders 1924
