"The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented.
Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin.
Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again...
However, take it away from them, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in.
But if you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit."
Josiah Stamp
Director, Bank of England 1928-1941
之前在Zeitgeist第二集就有一段講Fractional Reserve Banking System的問題，不過以下的片子就講的更詳細，而且引用了很多歷史上的重要人物如前總統、聯儲局長、銀行行長對此的觀感，我有一種「嘩，以前的人比現在的人更清楚自己在做什麼」的感覺。
因為我數學感弱，不敢說已100%掌握而全盤接它的論點，但目前我傾向相信。
這東西，可是不知不覺又從根底起形塑著我們現在的經濟模式和金錢觀念，要改變它(而且長遠來說遲早爆煲)也意味著將會對現有經濟模式帶來顛覆性改變。
《貨幣戰爭》在我的wanting list一段日子了…可是一連共有三本，一開當然要連貫性的…但我還有一堆書債要清…
原來還有第二部，有空再看。
