About this Quote

Henry Ford's quote recommends that the public's absence of understanding of the banking and monetary system is beneficial. He suggests that if the general public were to acquire a much better understanding of the system, they would be so outraged that a transformation would happen. This indicates that the banking and monetary system is not in the general public's best interest, and that it is being utilized to the advantage of those in power. Ford's quote is a cautioning to those in power to be mindful with how they use the banking and financial system, as the public may not be as oblivious as they believe. It is a tip that the public can be effective when they are notified and arranged, and that those in power should understand this.
