"I slogged through most of the 700 dense pages (not including appendix). This could have easily been two books: one about the history of the Federal Reserve and its place in the financial and political history of the US, and another book about the story of Paul Volker as head of the Fed during the Carter and Reagan years. For the most part this is a fascinating book especially in light of the current financial situation. The really intriguing aspect of the book is the author's assertion that the Fed is a parallel political power that can determine the economic climate and direction of the country in spite of what our elected bodies and presidents want. The reason for this is the almost total lack of knowledge of economics and the workings of the Fed by the general public and, more importantly, almost all elected officials. He uses the Volker scenario to drive this point home."
"What the bought-and-paid-for mainstream media calls "balanced" is more like apologist propaganda for world financial elites. For one thing, Grider beats around the bush about whether the Federal Reserve is a private or governmental body. In truth, it is completely private. The Federal Reserve is no more "federal" than Federal Express. Further, Greider is downright dismissive of the idea that the entire system is a conspiratorial ponzi scheme ultimately designed to fail (in a spectacular way) after wealth has been centralized into the hands of the oligarchical families who conceived it. "Conspiracy" is defined as "a situation in which two or more persons agree to commit a crime together". By that standard, the Federal Reserve system is certifiably one of the greatest conspiracies in history. Compare this book with "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" by G. Edward Griffin. Tellingly, Greider went on to write glowingly about another Rockefeller/Rothschild favorite project: the evolving single world government. Stunningly, he neglects to tell the reader it is intended to be an oligarchical collectivist police state (must've slipped his mind)."
"O.K., so I only read 1/2 of it. I did learn some interesting things about how the Fed controls our economy through manipulation of the money supply. I didn't like the way the information was presented. It kept jumping back and forth through different periods of history, which made it difficult to follow."
"the author brings a certain bias to this book that was too difficult to avoid. that being said, i was fairly ignorant on this topic so that's why i bought this book. i wanted to better understand the federal reserve and that part of the economy and this book managed to bring me up to a level where i could converse with people who were in the know, so that's why it gets 4 stars. but i wouldn't recommend this book to anyone else. i was just very motivated at the time to learn."
