First economics book I ever read. I heartily endorse it to FReepers who want to learn more about how our government steals from us and how it rammed through the creation of the Federal Reserve. It was the work of the Progressives, of course.
The FED represents a usurpation of the power to coin money, which rightfully belongs to the people and their government. Best book on the subject I’ve come across is Ellen Brown’s “Web of Debt”, on Amazon or www.webofdebt.com.
