Thanks Graham. That article on Harvard is amazing... you couldn't make this stuff up! Dear oh dear...
There are a couple of quotes I'd like to contribute, myself:
"We are all Keynesians now," - Richard Nixon
"The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." attributed to Thomas Jefferson |
