有人曾說過以下這段話
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks ,and deprive people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
200年過後,環球金融體系成長得比從前更茁壯,
加快促成人類各領域的進步,讓可享資源更豐富,
但另一方面,亦使貧富不均更顯著,社會更不公平,
物質層面相對以前是富足了,心靈層面卻不及從前.
資本運作影響世界各地,包括今天的香港,
我們在嘆問著樓價何以愈來愈高,薪酬為何追不上物價,
除了過去政府領導班子在房屋政策的根本錯失外,
精英要員漠視貨幣體系對市民生活影響依然固我綁緊美元以備政治任務亦責無旁貸,
我們失去的不止是住的地方,不止是物質購買力,不止是從前的和諧快樂,
更是愈見昂貴的自由.
