At the heart of banking is a suicidal strategy. Banks take money from the public or each other on call, skim it for their own reward and then lock the rest up in volatile, insecure and illiquid loans that at times they cannot redeem without public aid.

  • -- James Buchan 巴肯

银行业的核心是一种自杀式战略。银行从公众或彼此的电话中收取资金,从中提取自己的报酬,然后将其余资金锁定在不稳定、不安全、流动性差的贷款中,而这些贷款有时在没有公共援助的情况下是无法赎回的。
