This one is a winner. The perfect place to either begin, or to hand out to others as their introduction to this misunderstood topic. Easily worth more than the asking price. At only 8 chapters, this book will save you a small fortune in time and effort. This is the most condensed read available on the subject of the TRUTH about how the Federal Reserve Bank was founded and operates. You'll be woken up to the fact that the Federal Reserve Bank is not Federal and has no reserves. You can read the entire book in the time you'd spend reading a newspaper from cover to cover. Highly Recommended!

The information in this book is excellent, but I'm not happy with the fact Amazon charged me $2 extra to email it to me in Canada and I don't like the fact I can't save it to my SD card. (I wrote the author about this problem and he sent me a PDF for the new reader I just purchased.) I hope Amazon changes its policy about letting us "backup / save" a copy of books that are purchased here. I won't be purchasing any more ebooks from Amazon until they do.

When I start reading, there are two things right away I notice. Not many resources. Not this is bad per se, but when advertised the who, when, where, why and ect. I just figured to keep pace with other works done on the Fed as far as resources.

Also, when describing quite a bit, I wander is this revisionist thinking? For instance, the author makes descriptions about the past while using commentary on his own thoughts in how things should have gone. So is the author speaking of today or a few decades ago? For instance, the author talks about a bank run when the bank is using your money to loan to others. The ideal becomes clear-it is your money and the bank should not loan your money. If there is only one bank customer and two people who need loans-this would be a very wise thing to understand. There is a reason why some investment vehicles causes a hefty fee for early withdrawal say like in a CD. They try to get you locked in and the longer you stay in-the higher the interest rate.

Judgements aboout how things were in the past, just not too sure if I should be agreeing with the author when he barely wrote a few pages and opining about certain practices? If you ever took a Maceconomic or finance class-pass on this product. If you have read other books on the fed(Jeckle Island, secrets of the Temple) I would reccomend pass on this. If you watched an Alex Jones movie and really do not know very much about the Fed-this would be good for you.(in all deferrance to Mr Jones, I watch his movies as well and do learn from time to time. I guess the ideal of would be if you never heard of the FED watched a Jones movie and this is the first time hearing of the FED and its illigal actions, then this would be a good [primer to understand a it more.)

The quality of writing, just not sure if I am moderating someone in an online community. I am sure the comma's are in all the right places. Me, as I try to write, I think there are about 50 different introductions never seeing light of day on a subject because I am never satisfied-when I sound like I am writing online and not something someone might want to pay to read-this is what this work reminds me of.
