“The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve” is a great book that I’m almost done reading. The book retraces the history of money in western civilization and focuses on the role of the Federal Reserve.
The central point is that the US Dollar, as managed by the Federal Reserve, is destined to collapse and that the powers that be already have a world currency in mind to replace it. Perhaps the Amero would fill this role as a “regional” currency like the Euro, instead of a world currency as the book predicts.
Furthermore, and this is where it really gets interesting, there has to be a common enemy for the US citizens to fight against in order to be able to accept a lower standard of living, as a result of the currency collapse and economic upheaval. The best candidates are war and environmental destruction. We now have both. It’s not hard to see how the dots can be connected. I will post a synopsis of the book once I’m all done with it.
