"The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it."

"And the great owners, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed."

The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck

I find it fits today.
