I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit...[] We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, NO longer a Government by free opinion, NO longer a Government of conviction and vote of the majority, but, a Government by opinion and the duress of a small group of dominant men.


Woodrow T. Wilson
