Publisher's Summary
This classic expose of the Fed has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It reads like a detective story - which it really is, but it's all true.
This book is about the most blatant scam of history. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. Your world view will definitely change. Putting it quite simply, this may be the most important book on world affairs you will ever read.
The 5th Edition includes a no-holds barred analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations that are shown to be nothing less than legalized plunder of the American people. Many other updates have been added, including a revision to the list of those who attended the historic meeting at Jekyll Island, where the Federal Reserve was created.

Story
Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem mans diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics, and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

When the economy imploded in 2008, the Fed got credit for rescuing us.

In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global best seller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time.

When Money Dies is the classic history of what happens when a nations currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt....

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

This book covers bitcoin’s blocksize war, which was waged from August 2015 to November 2017. On the surface, the battle was about the amount of data allowed in each bitcoin block, however it exposed much deeper issues, such as who controls bitcoin’s protocol rules. It is not possible to cover every twist and turn in the labyrinthine conflict or all the arguments, but I have provided a chronology of the most significant events. This book explores some of the major characters in the conflict and includes coverage, from both the front lines and behind the scenes.

Today, your favorite products are missing from store shelves, caught in supply chain limbo somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. But what does this supply chain disruption look like six months, or even three years, from now? While we hope that post-pandemic recovery will absolve these issues, the reality is that digital currency, meme stonks, and social media can’t solve the age-old problem of producing and moving physical goods across oceans and continents. Jim Rickards argues that consumer frustration is only the tip of a large, menacing iceberg that threatens global economic collapse.

An incredible, true “whodunnit” read
Reading this is like taking the “red pill” from The Matrix. I recommend it for people who wish to be woke, or more woke, and want to take advantage of the powerful lessons it provides.
You’ll never look at money the same way again, because you’ll know the TRUTH about the Fed, how banks really work (not at all what we’re led to believe) and you’ll know how we came to the currency failure we’re in now.

Why all the “smoke and mirrors” about money?
Edward Griffin presents a fascinating story on how the Federal Reserve was created that implies many nefarious and sinister motives. I suspect his book “The Creature from Jekyll Island” contains a considerable amount of fiction and without further research, it is difficult to know what level of truth is in the book.
I was a teenager when I realized that all the fascinating stories about religions and gods are fictional. I felt foolish and started questioning why all the “smoke and mirrors” about religions and gods. I concluded that all these stories have been made up by an elite class of intellectuals used to control and govern people sometimes for the better but, often times for the worst resulting in bad behaviors, conflicts and wars. It took me a little longer to realize what a house of cards the modern economic and financial system is. I was well into my forties when I first started to learn how money is created. At first, I could not believe it. This was not what I was taught about money in my younger days. Once again, I felt foolish and also betrayed by the system and started questioning why all the “smoke and mirrors” about money. To me the most stunning realization was that modern money is created by issuing loans (creating debt). The idea that money is created by issuing loans (creating debt) never occurred to me and did not realize that most money is created this way including most of the money government spends.

Should be mandatory reading for before leaving high school. Mostly American but Central Banking is in many different countries doing the same thing. Here in Canada we have the Bank of Canada printing currency like crazy during this pandemic and a Socialist government in power.
