@DGI There is a similar quote in "Debt" about creating money and "a man with a gun" but I cannot find this one — could you please point me to the source? Thanks.

@shimon @DGI

perhaps this quote from page 320:

One element, however, tends to go flagrantly missing in even the most vivid conspiracy theories about the banking system, let alone in official accounts: that is, the role of war and military power. There’s a reason why the wizard has such a strange capacity to create money out of nothing. Behind him, there’s a man with a gun.
