Publisher's summary

This classic expose of the Fed has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It reads like a detective story - which it really is, but it's all true.

This book is about the most blatant scam of history. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. Your world view will definitely change. Putting it quite simply, this may be the most important book on world affairs you will ever read.

The 5th Edition includes a no-holds barred analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations that are shown to be nothing less than legalized plunder of the American people. Many other updates have been added, including a revision to the list of those who attended the historic meeting at Jekyll Island, where the Federal Reserve was created.

People’s history of modern finance

A Comprehensive historical review of the fractional reserve, lending, and fiat monetary system aimed at making clear its goals of collectivist governance rooted in totalitarianism

A must for the curious and inquiring

A little slow in the beginning, but it picked up steam and was well worth the time.

Feel a little tricked…. And I I liked it

I wanted to understand more about the federal reserve and how it works. It started off talking about the federal reserve and how it works and then…. It went into many much deeper topics until there were parts i was thinking “is this even about the federal reserve?”….. but it was good to open my eyes that some of my biases and conceptions could use some critical thinking and evaluation. I’m not sure how much of this is 100% correct, but i feel it was 100% of what the author believes and those beliefs are certainly well informed. So if nothing else, it really causes me to be more aware and informed…. And that is ultimately why i picked up the book in the first place. While i am not informed enough to endorse everything in it 100%, my opinion is that it’s 100% with the read and consideration of the topics and views presented. It helped me realize….i need to keep reading books😉👍

Great Fed Reserve write up

Really well written. The writer does a great job giving you a historical perspective of how the Fed reserve system evolved into what it is today. Worth the listen.

It is the basis for our Economic issues.

A must read. It makes sense out of the discrepancies of the haves and have nots. It explains why we Support Governments that treat their Citizens poorly.

A great book

Loved the book I would recommend it to every one I encounter. Thank you much

A red pill and black pill all in one

This book is a bit depressing, but if you truly want to understand how your money system works, it is essential.

A must read.

It’s absolutely appalling that everyone in America doesn’t have this knowledge. Of course now you’ll be called certain names for recommending this book to people in your life.

An eye opening story of what of what he common man’s instincts told him what was true.

Supply and demand is a law of nature. The elites have manipulated this law to take from the average honest hardworking man his efforts and turn it into wealth for themselves and subjugate the masses without their knowledge.

Great Information!

The narration was excellent. The book was well written, informative and executed flawlessly! I understand why this information is not taught in schools as mandatory information, but it is imperative that the masses understand our economic/financial system.
