The Creature from Jekyll Island

Brilliant book. A must to understand how exactly the US Federal Reserve was created by whom and for what purpose. This is extremely relevant to understand the imapct of dedollarisation on the American economy and the Western model of economic control of other nations.

Nice to tead. This is secondary reading next to Eustace MULLINS Secrets of the Federal Reserve. However a little explanatory reading

Great book, highly recommend

I was putting off reading this book because I mistakenly got the impression that it was going to be a dense, long and dry read. However when I finally cracked it open - I couldn't put it down. For your typical student of Austrian economics none of the history outlined in this book will be particularly surprising, but when you see it all put together in this way the magnitude of injustice perpetuated by our insidious monetary system washes over you in waves of insight, horror and outrage. I've seen people complain about the fact that the author doesn't organize the book in chronological order, but I prefer it this way. The book can be read cover to cover but also serves as useful resource to refer to, with the chapters effectively standing alone as lessons. While I recommend reading all of it, one can easily cherry pick chapters that cover topics of particular interest. It's precisely the kind of book I would recommend to anybody and everybody, and in fact I ordered this copy specifically to hand around to my blue collar coworkers, with a selection of chapters and passages I find especially poignant bookmarked for them to read. To my surprise and elation - my coworkers (largely uneducated immigrants - hard working, well meaning factory men and women of character) have been very receptive and engaged with the concepts and dreadful realities outlined in this work. Given the geopolitical and economic circumstances we currently find ourselves in (and in the case of my coworkers and myself, the economic class we find ourselves in, namely lowly workers of a small independent manufactueing business in the productive economy), these lessons are especially powerful and are exactly the sort of notions that need to be spread around to the common man and woman. The harm caused by the machinations of the world's central bankers confront us every day, and adults of all backgrounds and circumstance are ready and able to make sense of them with the help of books like this. Some also seem to point to the author's proclivity for "conspiracy theory", but I honestly don't know what they're talking about. The few times the author speculates about motives or specific events, he's very clear about when he's making assumptions and when he's simply relaying accounts by important players. The readers can make of those quotations what they will, but this isn't some wild eyed rant. It's a well researched account of banking history in the US. At times the author may attribute more influence to some of the not-so-secret societies and clubs populated by financial elites than can really be proven, but digging into the details of those groups is hardly the point of this book anyways. Whether particular agendas were prompted by one cabal or another is almost immaterial - the insidious consequences of said agendas are the same. The large majority of the book is just analysis, explanation and history. Overall I'd argue this book and it's message have aged exceptionally well, and it feels like the sort of work that could change the world for the better if only more people were aware of it. Were high school students compelled to read books like this rather than the drivel that is typical in a school curriculum, one can only imagine the kind of world we might live in... Whether you're interested in sound money economic theory or not this book is must-read. It's written in plain and accessible language, it's succinct, it's eye-opening... Absolutely a necessity for any modern thinking person's library.

The book came damaged.

Capire meglio come questa "Finanza" ha voluto le due guerre mondiali è necessaria per evitare la propaganda ufficiale degli "storici di corte" . La documentazione è eccelente ; in definitiva è questo che più ci serve. In fatti parlano da sè, non necessitano di "interpretazioni" da parte degli "accademici". La FED non è una banca privata, non è né una "riserva" né "federale.

You don't need a background in economics to read this book. It is truly an easy read and one that should be made mandatory for everyone. For only then would everybody's eyes open to the fraud that's been perpetrated upon them as a result of the monetary system within which they are forced to operate.
