EXPLODING THE MYTHS ABOUT MONEY Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been privatized, or taken over by a private money cartel. Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions — including the private Federal Reserve. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices — and robbing you of the value of your money. Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading. Then it explores a workable alternative, one that was tested in colonial America and is grounded in the best of American economic thought, including the writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. If you care about financial security, your own or the nation's, you should read this book.

David Bean, December 31, 2008 (view all comments by David Bean)
A well written and savvy story of Money and its shenanigans in American history. It is told through the allegory of the Wizard of Oz with amazing accuracy. Who would have guessed that the yellow brick road and silver slippers were a tongue in cheek reference to oz. as in ounces? Who would have known, even if they had read reams of history that the British Bankers intended to charge Abe Lincoln 25 to 36% for the pleasure of saving the union, and that he devised the "greenback" to accomplish the fact. This history will allow you to put gold bugs and railroad barons and investment bankers in perspective.

This book is entertaining as it is illuminating and I can think of no more pertinent read for 2009 that this. You are living the history now that others will read about.

It is much more accessible than The Lost Science of Money, by Zarlenga but not as expansive in time and scope. It is eye opening and accurate. Who would have thought that the creation of money was once actually talked about as a subject of politics?
