Popular Highlights in this book

What are popular highlights?

Alliance between elite private interests and government power historically was called mercantilism.
Highlighted by 148 Kindle readers
In the early 20th Century, mercantilists acted to turn the tide back in their favor. They brought on the Federal Reserve System, the graduated federal income tax and the Great Depression in aggressive moves to destroy the middle class and to achieve unchecked dominance over all governments and people globally.
Highlighted by 95 Kindle readers
Every tax has a rate which produces maximum revenues, and a higher rate will cause revenues from the tax to diminish.

Review

"A durable, powerful elite came to dominate the new republic as thoroughly...as if a monarch had been placed upon an American throne."

This book reveals those upon the throne and their agenda to create a third world USA economy. --The Fruits of Graft

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Wayne Jett (1942- ) was born at Banner, Oklahoma, grew up in and around Wetumka, and then studied engineering and law at the university in Norman. For 30 years, private law practice in Los Angeles put him in federal and state trial and appellate courts, including the U. S. Supreme Court, in cases involving collective bargaining agreements, employee benefits and the Constitution. In 2000, he wrote A General Theory of Acquisitivity explaining that Adam Smith's "invisible hand" metaphorically reflects a crucial feature of human nature which efficiently allocates resources to individuals able to use them most productively. After beginning work in classical economics and the financial sector at that time, research and exposure to contemporary trading practices led to his writing The Fruits of Graft, the historic first telling of actions taken by ruling elite to cause the Great Depression and the financial destruction of 2008. Since 2000, he has spoken widely on constitutional issues and fundamental tax reform and, during 2005-2008, to financial analysts in the U. S. and Canada on classical economics, flawed U. S. monetary policy and systemic failures in financial markets. He writes current commentaries at https://classicalcapital.com available free of charge.

This is one of the most profound and essential books published in the US since the end of World War II.

Kudos to its author for his courage and brilliance in tackling such matter of paramount importance.

A must read for anyone living in the United States

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

After completing this great book. It has been the education I have needed, to fill in the blanks of the extreme corruption in our financial markets as well as the government, that all of us need to be aware. The current IRS, Benghazi and attack on the AP with an overly-broad seizure of phone records ought to scare the living hell out of us all. Read this book, watch the unfolding drama in the Obama "no-drama" White House and then read my book, "Bank of Crooks & Criminals" which details how a cabal of small-town banksters and shysters robbed an old Marine of his life's work. But first, get a formal education on fraud and read Wayne Jett's book. THIS ONE. Read it and awaken to the slime and crime of the elite.
This book provides a better understanding of the manipulation of monetary policy, FDR's horrible economic policies during the Great Depression and the pillaging of the middle class are quite revealing. I am going to have to put everything else aside and finish Wayne Jett's book.
I have never found our nation's leaders to belong in the truth department, this book will not inspire you to have too much respect for them, those who have been in place over the last hundred years or as current events educate us, those in power now. Read it and make up your own mind.

Make it a personal goal to get five other people to read this book! I am.

Middle Class Survival

Verified Purchase

Intensive review of competing economic policies and practices in the USA and the potential outcomes - Well worth the read and pertinent to our present day. The author is knowledgeable and highly versed in his subject. He describes the dangers of Keynesian application to our current governmental monetary system and its devastating effect on the middle class, bringing into question the very survival of our freedoms and economic success as a nation. A great but sobering read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Very informative although there were some missing years I thought were significant this book goes into detail about FDR and my suspicions that FDR not only made the 1929 great depression worst but he kept the great depression and the U.S. economic crash at the lowest point in American history for his whole administration with NO improvement pass WWII. He raided our national treasury to buy gold for his whole administration which took liquid assets away from the hands of the common man and gave it to his banker and financial friends. I can see similarities between what FDR did to the American economy to what Obama is doing to our American economy today for the past 8 years. From George Washington through George Bush, all the presidents created $10T of national debt over a 220 year period. Obama created $10T in NEW national debt in just 8 years along with his massive regulations, has kept put and kept our nation on its knees for 8 years now. He's also crated a whole lost generation of young people who's had none of the baby boom generation advantages of learning and working hard to create a great generation today.

Truths of history that have been hidden from us...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

Our grandparents believed what they were told, with the knowledge/propaganda available at the time : that these periodic depressions are simply economic accidents. The truth is far different. Wayne Jett gives us the documented facts that paint a very different picture, a monumental achievement, putting into our hands all we, the people, need to put an end to the avidity of a tiny percentage among us who evolved all their skills of deception and fraud over centuries, with the aim of enslaving the rest of humanity, under them. If we don't like where our world is today, this book gives us the information we need to change the systems once and for all, and to make them work for the people, not against them.

Stunning and logical breakdown of the graft and corruption that has fooled and impoverished the American working class

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've read all the way through chapter 13. By the way, if you want to jump straight to the meat of the book and how it affects your lively hood today, then start at chapter 12. You can go back to the beginning when you are ready.

This is a fantastic book! I've read many expert books on this subject and this one is the best. If there is one book you want to read that will give you a convincing view of the history of graft and corruption in this country, then this is the book. Look no further. Buy it now and become enlightened, you will not regret it.

I'll update when I finish, just wanted to contribute something now for those trying to make a decision.

Great history of economics from early on!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm only 20 % into this kindle book and am flabbergasted about what I really didn't know of the world economics and the controls it has from outside sources. This book is a mindblower if you really want to know the how and why of money and the controls and political decisions that either make us, the guy on the street, feel like like a pauper or a king. Very good historic and perspective read of money and power and what it means to us as a populace today. READ IT!
