The Federal Reserve is neither Federal (part of the U.S. government), nor does it have reserves. Or its reserves are in questionable supply. The Federal Reserve is a scam perpetrated by a few elites. Until we nationalize the money supply -- something the current Federal Reserve does not do, face it -- everyone outside of the richest people are a the whims of a few controllers. It is not the banks that need to be nationalized, it is the money supply that needs to be nationalize. See what you think of my statements after you read this book. (PS: Congressman Kucinich wants to nationalize the money supply. He should be our president.)
Suggestion: Research Greider Before Buying March 3, 2009

The same William Greider who recently, in The Nation, advocated mandatory government savings plans?
The same William Greider who recently, in The Nation, asserted Social Security was "strong"?
I don't believe he's a reliable authority on the private fiat money system, no.
Having read "The Creature From Jekyll Island", and skimmed "Web of Debt" the former is Excellent, and the latter is quite good) I'd say the savvy reader has more intellectually nutritious choices.
A Magnum-Opus of Reportage February 20, 2009

Chronicles the history of the Federal Reserve, especially from 1979 to 1987 under the chairmanship of Paul Volcker. Both in painting the big picture with broad strokes, and in detailing the mundane causes and effects, this book explicates a complex issue at many levels: from the viewpoint of the moneyed and the decisions they cause the Federal Reserve to make, to the social effects of the decisions themselves. Though set in a particular time period, the saga this book unfolds seems to have happened before, is happening now and will happen again if we let it.
I started reading this book to understand the present crisis that is unfolding as I write this review. And shockingly, the details of a past crisis that Secrets of the Temple illuminates in depth, and even crises that it mentions more past than that, mirror the present crisis in uncanny detail! And this book was written in 1989! The similarities are chilling. I can only conclude that 1) this crisis could have been foretold, even prevented, 2) if that did not happen, it is because the powers-that-be let it happen, and 3) this is systemic. The System will have to be changed if we don't want this to happen again.
If you want to learn about money, just read this one book. I tried writing a bigger review, but I didn't know where to start, because, this book is, in the truest sense of the word, a magnum opus. Just five stars don't do this justice.
exhausting and useless December 30, 2008

700+ pages- without any clear explanation of
1. what the federal reserve is
2. what it does
3. how it started
700 pages of rambling, distracting, babbling commentary presented as indisputable "facts".
Amazon sells a 'out of print' book called 'SECRETS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE' - FOR $125!
