I can't imagine anyone giving this book a negative review, unless they were a banker! I thought I understood money and wealth creation until I read "The Creature from Jekyll Island". I recommend it without reservation to anyone who desires to understand wealth, money and power through the lens of history and common sense.

This is an engrossing tale of the Federal Reserve. It should be required reading for all business/finance/economics majors. Although the subject will hold the interest of all readers who are interested in the machinations of the Fed, its premises also apply to central banks around the world.

Ed Griffin's book, "The Creature from Jekyll Island", is an excellent chronology on the purpose for, and the planning that went into, getting Congress to enact the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. While most of us would argue that the "FED" has done a pretty lousy job of managing our money supply, the truth is that it has worked perfectly for the people who designed and those who now benefit from it. This is a great adjunct to "Economic Hitmen" and "Zeitgeist" for those who haven't yet caught up to the fact that the vast majority of Americans are effectively slaves to our present financial system.
The only problem with this book is that while it provides an excellent understanding of how our financial system works, or doesn't work, depending on your perspective, it seems pretty obvious to me that the powerful elements who benefit from it will use all of their immense power to retain this tool of financial and political destruction.
The world is in for a great deal of very tough sledding in the next decade.
I do have some interesting ideas on how some of us can likely gain from what is happening which I will share with anyone interested. This is not a commercial, and there is no charge for my advice, which may or may not indicate its value, which is, after all, in the eye of the beholder.

Well look no further than the contents of this book. It will leave you jaw dropped.
Although quite voluminous, it is so well written that you will get through it in no time. I think i finished this book in one week, i could not put it down.
MUST READ!

This item was very helpful i.e. the highlighting marks. It was very helpful for me when i took my quiz in my Economics class. It was in good condition. I am glad that the person who used to own this book made highlighting marks on specific text from the book.
