Central Banking
In the modern form, central banks are government-licensed monopolies to profit from seigniorage. This gives them a more or less unlimited economic self-interest in perpetuating the system, hence very deep pockets to try to naturalize their existence.
Private banking
The banking sector is an oligopoly with huge barriers to entry to facilitate rent seeking by preventing real competition.

| 2011 Attacks on Libya | “Gaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide Francophone Africa with an alternative to the CFA."” | Ellen Brown | 14 March 2016 |
| Alfred Denning | “Parliament has conferred many privileges on “banks” and “bankers”, but it has never defined what is a “bank” or who is a “banker” It has said many times that a banker is someone who carries on the “business of banking”, but it has never told us what is the business of banking.” | Alfred Denning | 1966 |
| James Garfield | “Whoever controls the supply of currency would control the business activities of all the people.” | James Garfield | |
| Donald Jeffries | “Just talking about the Rothschilds, the most preeminent banking family in the world, brings an instant charge of anti-Semitism." The Rothschilds are such shadowy figures that, when I was writing Survival of the Richest, I really couldn’t include much about them. Unlike all the other One Percenters, their wealth is hard to calculate, and their influence seems purposefully hidden. There's just no information out there about them, other than the allegations of "conspiracy theorists," who by mentioning them become, of course, dastardly "anti-Semites."” | Donald Jeffries | 2024 |
| Mervyn King | “Of all the many ways of organizing banking, the worst is the one we have today. Change is, I believe, inevitable. The question is only whether we can think our way through to a better outcome before the next generation is damaged by a future and bigger crisis.” | Mervyn King | |
| Social change | “Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.” | William Lyon Mackenzie King | 1935 |
