Summary

This quote, often attributed to Henry Ford, suggests that the complexity of the banking and monetary system can be intentionally cloaked from the general public. The implication is that if people were fully aware of the intricacies of this system and how it may benefit certain groups or exploit others, the resulting outrage could lead to societal upheaval. It implies that maintaining a level of ignorance about the workings of the financial system serves the interests of those who benefit from it at the expense of others.
