End the Fed

By: Ron Paul

Narrated by: Bob Craig

Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

Over 4,000 students gathered at the University of Michigan to hear Republican Party candidate Ron Paul speak. As he began to address the topics of monetary policy and the coming depression, a chant rose from the crowd, "End the Fed! End the Fed!" As dollar bills were lit on fire and thrown into the night skies, it became clear that the real problem, one that nobody in the media was talking about, was the central bank - an unconstitutional entity and a political, economic, and moral disaster.

Most people don't give a second thought to the Federal Reserve, but they should. In End the Fed, Ron Paul argues that the Fed is both corrupt and dangerously autonomous, inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level. What most people don't realize is that the Fed is actually working against their own personal interests. Ron Paul's urgent appeal tells us how we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic structure for future generations.

Great Book!

More people should read or listen to this book written by Dr. Paul. A lot of great knowledge here and good narration.

The Federal Reserve is immoral, corrupt, and therefore must be stopped.

Ending the Federal Reserve is a moral obligation for anyone who has an understating of its reach. The Federal Reserve is corrupt to its core, it is a cartel aimed to do one thing only, steal from the American people and pay of its insiders. The Fed’s manipulation of the World at large must come to eh end, Ron Paul makes this point explicitly clear.

Information everyone should know..

If you could sum up End the Fed in three words, what would they be?

Very powerful information.

What did you like best about this story?

How the facts where presented.

Have you listened to any of Bob Craig’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I thought he did well.

Any additional comments?

Most of the books I read are set in fantasy and science fiction, but when it comes to our money and the monetary system we are living in a fantasy. This book enlightened me as to how our elected and non elected officials cause inflation by there defacett spending.

Legend

Never more pertinent as it is today. I voted for Dr. Paul in 2008 and 2012, probably still a good write in candidate.

good book

the person reading this makes me want to fall a sleep, found it hard to stay focused on his voice, other than that I say everyone should be read/listen to this book.

ron paul the mfckn goat bruh.

An instant classic, still very relevant in 2021

First published in 2009, "End the Fed" has perhaps never been more relevant. In 2021, in the wake of the pandemic, we have seen more money printing by the Fed in the last year and a half than in any other 18 month period in our country's history, including the financial crisis that first inspired Paul to write this book. About 40% of all US dollars ever to exist were created in the last two years. This money printing has led to rising prices and a "stabilized" economy with the stock market heading upward, but relatively stagnant wages and employment levels, to vastly increased wealth inequality, and perhaps also led to further malinvestment and systemic fault lines that will reveal themselves in the years to come.

Liberals and conservatives, libertarians and hippies alike may all be surprised to find something true and real and useful in Ron Paul's classic about the societal ill that is central banking, if we can muster the courage to listen patiently and push through the conditioned knee-jerk opposition to any critique of our economic system.

The truth, as Paul explains, is that the Fed is neither compatible with conservative free market values nor with liberal concern for the poor and the downtrodden, nor with the libertarian ideal of limited government. Central banking is a bastardizarion of all these ideals that benefits the extremely wealthy few, the well-connected special interests, at the expense of the many, and tends to lead to bigger government, worse inequality, less free markets and, ultimately, the collapse of free civilizations.

This will be the defining issue of the first half of the 21st century. Read this book, and then get to work.

Ron Paul has his facts right.

I have a lot of respect for Ron Paul but I have to be honest, this book was not easy to get through. Lots of information repeats itself through the book and I don't understand why this narrator was picked for the book. I like his voice but he is way to soft spoken. His voice puts me to sleep.

yawn.....zzzzzz zzzz zz

Full of Great Information

Well researched. Full of great information. Ron Paul gets up close and personal with the Fed, Bernanke, and the government. This is a must read for people concerned about our country and freedoms, and financial well-being.

Repetitive, too long, it repeats oftenen

Ok book, I've always respected Sen Paul and agree with his statement of facts. That said repeating that we are going the wrong way isn't a solution. He does not offer a correct direction in this book. He states a return to the gold standard, yet opposes the gold standard we had and never explains the mechanism that would create a gold standard. I'm glad I've listened to the book, but wish it offered a solution instead of repeating over and over again things are bad, the fed is bad. Towards the end he desperately tries to tie the fed to needless wars. I'd love a follow up that shows a culture that uses a gold standard and how the us could adopt it. Id also like to know how he would end the fed and what would replace it.
