Investor: I have read the book. I’ve also read enough history, especially related to the various bank panics and runs, to realize that your rambling screed is fairly divorced from both reality and fact.
Do a little research on the Fed, with a concentration on Carter Glass and Nelson Aldrich. Read up on the Panic of 1907, and the desire to avoid similar panics through the institution of a central bank, similar to those being used by the British, French and Germans prior to WWI.
And for the record, there were central banks in the US prior to the Fed. See First Bank of the United States (ca. 1791) and Second Bank of the United States (ca. 1816). I’d also recommend doing a little bit more research into Jefferson and Jackson and their feelings on central banks before turning this into some sort of sinister cabal.
As the more serious posters on this board are fond of pointing out: BRING FACTS. Not some breathless tirade utterly devoid of them.
