 FROM THE PUBLISHER OF A BOOK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MONEY AND BANKS IN THE U.S.A.

The author explores the periods of InflationThe author shows that almost all major economic catastrophes in American history have been caused by a systematic and deliberate state drive to expand the inflationary potential of the banking system, ultimately leading to the current paper-dollar standard (the collapse of which is yet to come). The author brings to light the financial interests and ideology of the business elite at various stages of the formation of the U.S. banking sector, revealing the connections of motives and plans, often covert and sideways, with results that sometimes turn out to be tragic. The relationship (struggle and cooperation) between the two largest factions of American business, the Morgans and the Rockefellers, is particularly detailed. Never before has the history of money and banks been written with such theoretical power and rhetorical brilliance.
