"In every generation concern has arisen,
sometimes to the boiling point. Fear has emerged that the United States might
one day discover that a relatively small group of individuals, especially
through banking institutions they headed, might become virtual
masters of the economic destiny of the United States."
Adolf Berle (1969) citado por Markham
"I am by no means an alarmist. I believe that our system, though curious and peculiar, may be worked safely; but if we wish so to work it, we must study it. Money will not manage itself, and Lombard Street has a great deal of money to manage."
Walter Bagehot en Lombard Street
