Actually, if you read creature from jekyll island, the real damage was done in 1913 with the formation of the federal reserve bank.
If you have not read that book yet - don’t walk - RUN FAST - and get it tommorow. It is discussed often on this site, but I implore you to get it.
It will literally be a life changing experience in how you look at politics money etc.
If you doubt me, check out the reviews on amazon. Its a big book but a furious page turner.
