Other People's Money: and How the Bankers Use It
Louis Dembitz 1856-1941 BrandeisFunny aside: the origin of this phrase is generally credited to Brandeis’ book “Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It,” excerpted in @Harpers in early 1900s. Which is a reference that’s too cute/on the nose if @elonmusk knew it, but I sorta doubt it was intentional. https://t.co/Apd35mOkwn
