Lysander Spooner, (1808-1887) Political theorist, activist, abolitionist
Lysander Spooner Quote
“A man who is without capital, and who, by prohibitions upon banking, is practically forbidden to hire any, is in a condition elevated but one degree above that of a chattel slave. He may live; but he can live only as the servant of others; compelled to perform such labor, and to perform it at such prices, as they may see fit to dictate.”
