You will find it in all sorts of documents, financial textbooks, etc. But in the intervening years, and we must be perfectly frank about these things, there has been a development of thought, until today I doubt very much whether you would get many prominent bankers to attempt to deny that banks create it.” ~ H. W. White Chairman of the Associated Banks of New ZealandSource: to the New Zealand Monetary Commission, 1955
