Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913), Doubleday, pp. 13-14In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value.

I’m preparing for my exams. And in my free times, I read the book ‘The History of Usury’ by J.B.C. Murray (1866). I think it was fashionable at those times to write in English, then mix Latin in it. There are many quotes, sentences and little phrases in Latin. :/ The book is very enlightening though. The arguments are really deep! I’m trying to read it slowly so I can get the concepts clearly!
The World Bank and others stimulate borrowing by the rich and powerful in the poor countries, the risky loans yield high returns, and when the system crashes, structural adjustment programs transfer the costs to the poor, who never borrowed the money in the first place and gained little from it, and to the taxpayers of the North.
