More from Jefferson:

I just bet that Jefferson was very familiar with the disaster following the greed of John Law, who established the first private bank in France and triggered the ‘Mississippi Bubble,’ in the early 1700s. Check out the PBS series the “Ascent of Money” here:

I wonder during what part of Jefferson’s life these statements were made? I’ll have to do some digging…
Its well known that a rift between friends Jefferson and John Adams occurred and which was in part due to Jefferson’s support for the French Revolution. Later, when it became clear how far this new “democracy” in France would be taken, Jefferson appeared to moderate his perspective. Late in life, the two great men began to talk again. It would be handy to know Jefferson’s larger frame of mind when he made the statements Mac and Stephen Reid refer to.
I think Jefferson was suspicious of bankers and aristocrats pretty much his entire career as a public servant or at least soon after his influence from John Locke’s musings. That’s mostly why he and Hamilton didn’t get along. I’d agree with those suspicions, his views on self determination and inalienable rights limited only by the equal rights of others. His insistence on cultural uniformity excluded people of color and his policies against the American Indians were cruel and unjust. Mostly I prefer Washington over Jefferson. Washington feared Jefferson would reinvigorate partisan politics and those fears were realized.

The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Those words are as true today as they were 200 years ago.
