I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

What do you think this could possibly mean? Do you think he was talking about the federal reserve? Do you think he was implying that banks were in control of america? Is he admitting by passing this act that he has given control of our country to private individuals? I have a theory of what this could mean but I feel it may be lacking something. What conclusion did you come to from reading this quote?
