Review
Ellen Hodgson Brown may have done the impossible. She wrote a book about the most stupefying subject in the world, money, where it comes from and how it is manipulated and made it readable, compelling, even suspenseful. Web of Debt is a page-turner.
--Acres USA, April 2010
Most people need backing of some sort to break through and capture a share of the public mind, but Ms. Brown has seemingly accomplished this all by herself .... If we wore a thousand hats, they would all be doffed in respect.... There are in our opinion ... now Keynesians, Austrians and Brownians.
--The Daily Bell, Oct 8, 2009
Ellen Brown has translated a dense subject into a readable and fascinating story....Web of Debt not only demystifies money, but provides some thought-provoking and realistic solutions to our nation's dangerous dependence on a for-profit banking system that is sucking the financial lifeblood out of our nation.
--Thom Hartmann, April 2009
If there is one book, one newspaper, one blog, one article, that one should read to understand the current economic crisis, to understand the root of the problem, and to understand the solution, it is The Web of Debt . . . . The only ideology presented is one of fairness, integrity, and common sense.
-- Online Journal Reviews, March 2, 2009
Ms. Brown has taken two subjects considered boring - history and monetary policy - and turned them into a book as thrilling as any Tom Clancy novel .... This may well be one of the most important books you will ever read.
