A primary complaint- made about the existing financial system was that it did not reflect facts. It was not in relation to the truth, and he believed that a community of the type found in New Zealand and in a country of New Zealand’s description was extraordinarily well placed to lead the world into a state of affairs where its systems and institutions would reflect the truth a little more accurately than at the present time.
