quote for the day

The social institution of the future will direct all industries of the whole society and specially of the peaceful workers…The system will comprise in the first instance a central bank which constitutes the government in the material sphere: this bank will become the depository of all wealth, of the whole productive fund, of all the instruments of production, in short of everything that today makes up the whole mass of private property.
St. Simon (not Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama, or Mr. Bernanke, for that matter)
