the link between War & Big Finance

Americans are recognizing the link between the military-industrial complex & the Wall St. oligarchs—a connection that goes back to the beginning of the modern U.S. empire. Banks have always profited from war because the debt created by banks results in ongoing war profit for big finance; and because wars have been used to open countries to U.S. corporate and banking interests.

“large banking interests were deeply interested in the world war 
because of the wide opportunities for large profits.”
- Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)
