QuoteOriginally posted by: VegawizardI agree with Rmax & Sid,A little off topic, but a really superb read was:The Creature from Jekyll Island A wonderful historial illumination of the origins of the Wall Street 'Money Centre' cartels and the creation of the Federal ReserveI found Creature from Jekyll Island too 'conspiracy theorist' and populist to enjoy. The later chapters on fractional banking and multiplier effects also exaggerated a bit much.
