Sets out the main reasoning for nationalisation of banking and reasoning including protection of workers

Description

Presents the argument against big-business - mostly for 'the control of credit is tantamount to the control of government'; 'the private banking system has failed to use the power inherent in the control of credit in the interests of the community' and 'to effectively govern and to ensure that the credit of the nation is used in the interests of the nation, the Government must control the money system'.
