“I make really good pasta sauce. The secret to getting it right is just patience and love.”
Banks“We're sorry. It's not us. It's the monster. The bank isn't a man. The bank isn't like a man.Yes, but the bank is only made of men.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath“Banks should actively encourage companies that are doing a good job on environmental and social fronts. Banking for community development is the banking of future.”
Saurabh Gupta Earth5R“In the past people used to rob banks, now the banks rob the people.”
David Alejandro Fearnhead“The most famous and one of the most thoroughgoing opponents of bank credit was Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson reacted to the panic of 1819 as a confirmation of his pessimistic views on banks.”
Murray Rothbard“He tried to read an elementary economics text; it bored him past endurance, it was like listening to somebody interminably recounting a long and stupid dream. He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary. In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed“Myth: Bail-in plans would recapitalize big banks. Fact: big banks are far too insolvent to remotely be in a position for such restoration.”
Ziad K. Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics“The Congress has had an uneasy relationship with banks and bankers since Alexander Hamilton. It took the United States until 1913 to set up a central bank. The Federal Reserve earned its hard-won independence over years of effort.”
Robert Zoellick“Those that think banks and governments are making them poor haven't seen the whole picture. Poverty is the act of trusting their system.”
Robin Sacredfire“Banks do not create money for the public good. They are businesses owned by private shareholders. Their purpose is to make a profit.”
