Not quoting literally. Here's the Mellon quote: "Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.... It will purge the rottenness out of the system.

I notice Banker Mellon didn't say anything about liquidating the banker. But then, there's nothing there to liquidate, except perhaps the borrower's promise to pay for imaginary money with real effort. What an arse.
