“If the government were obliged to come to the people for money instead of vice-versa, the people would keep government under control and operate their economy satisfactorily with prosperity and peace resulting. The peoples of the nations do not make war. For them peace is the natural and permanent order. Wars are planned and perpetrated by politicians and their diplomats; and the money power of government is the means by which the people are maneuvered into wars.” PeopleIfsMeanWarGovernmentOrderNationsPeaceNaturalEconomyPoliticianProsperityVicesMaking MoneyPermanentObligedVice VersaDiplomatsMoney Power Author:E.C.

“When man has mastered money he shall have mastered not only his economic problem of prosperity but also his political problem, for he will see that money has no place in state functions, and, the money power being entirely in his own hands, he will easily master the state and clearly define its services. Thus money must be seen as the means of mastery of all economic and political problems. Until we have mastered money we shall not master any of our problems. Not money, but a false money system, is the root of all evil.” MenMeanStatesProblemHandsGovernmentPoliticalEvilEconomicMastersRootsFunctionProsperityMasteryMoney PowerEconomic Problems Author:E.C.
