Banker. A banker has been defined as a person who takes care of other people's money and lets
them have it when they want it. The distinct function of the banker begins when lie uses the money
of others; as long as he uses his own money he is a capitalist.
The term banker is greatly misused. Stock brokers, dealers in exchange and commercial paper,
note shavers, money lenders and money changers often describe themselves as bankers. As a
fact they are not bankers. Syndicate managers also often describe themselves as bankers; they
are financiers perhaps, but not bankers.
