All interpretations of history are propaganda for one idea or another.

About This Quote

All interpretations of history are propaganda for one idea or another. History is full of differing views of what happened in the past. Historians, for example, argue about the causes of the Great Depression in the 1930s, and there are probably as many different theories as there are historians. Some say that it was caused by bank stock speculation; others blame economic policy; still others place the blame on the federal reserve system; and some blame the very nature of modern economies. All these interpretations are propaganda for one idea or another.
