Where does money come from? Where does it go?
Who makes it? The money magicians’ secrets are unveiled. We get a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, their pulleys, cogs, and wheels the grand illusion called money. A dry and boring subject? You’ll be hooked in five minutes.
Reads like a detective story – really is. But it’s all true. This about the most blatant scam of all history. It’s all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity.

GetAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.While the US Congress officially created the Federal Reserve in 1913, contrarian G. Edward Griffin believes it was born in secret on a secluded island in 1910, designed by a handful of the world's most powerful men. Griffin, president of American Media and author of The Discovery of Noah's Ark, leads a circuitous journey through a different version of history, a recounting that bolsters his belief that mighty cabals aim to subjugate the United States to a new world government. Griffin sees the Federal Reserve System as the primary instrument of these enigmatic groups, since he believes that it manipulates economies and people while meeting in closed session.
Readers who enjoy conspiracy theories will find much to ponder in Griffin's book, which is extensive in length and conjecture. More realistic readers may want to do some fact checking. While always politically neutral, getAbstract suggests this alternative take on economic and political history only to those who are curious about Griffin's ideas or who like a good international economics horror story and aren't picky about facts. Even the author says his saga is 'incredible, which means unbelievable,' and he's right, though he expects his audience to accept 'the evidence of the truth of this story.' Griffin's history may indicate how far to the edge some fringe thinkers really sit (unless you agree with his theories – and some do – in which case, you will have a good time reading along as he builds his case).Book Publisher:American Media.
