“Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws" — Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
This prominent international banker is commonly quoted this.
First, did he actually say it?
Second, what was its context (when and where was he and what other things did he say shortly before or after this) if we know?
Finally, seeing as how this is likely his most notable quote, did he ever reflect on it at a later time shedding some light on it?
The actual quote which is attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild is:
Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!
A number of sources claim that this statement was made in 1838 (which would have been a difficult feat as he would have been dead for 26 years by then). Wikiquote claims that there is no way to verify by whom, when or why it was made. It notes:
No primary source for this is known and the earliest attribution to him known is 1935 (Money Creators, Gertrude M. Coogan). Before that, "Let us control the money of a nation, and we care not who makes its laws" was said to be a "maxim" of the House of Rothschilds, or, even more vaguely, of the "money lenders of the Old World".
It is adapted from another well known quote:
Let me make the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.
This is in turn attributed to the Scot, Andrew Fletcher:
In An Account of a Conversation he made his well-known remark "I knew a very wise man so much of Sir Christopher's sentiment, that he believed if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation."
This is a False Quote attributed to Rothschild by conspiracy theorists wanting to paint a black system of "evil Jewish bankers controlling the world's governments"

I have one rule for posting quotes that I didn’t write myself.
If it doesn’t inspire one to think for themselves, it’s not worth posting.
Verifying that a quote is authentic before posting it should be common sense. Maybe quotes should have a source link after them, the same as images taken from another website when posted on blurt.
