The Creature from Jekyll Island is devastating book to read-especially when this is the first time you have been given a full picture of the world and who is in charge here. Fantastically researched. I only wish I had a brain that could hold all this info so that I could go out and spread the word with intelligence and references that I could use to debate the shallowest of mind.
If you've ever wondered who really pulls the strings in America (or for that matter, the world) this book is a great learning experience. The author does a remarkable job on a subject which is tough to grasp. You'll never feel the same about bankers after reading this book. Although well annotated, one occasionally wonders whether Griffin's agenda is a bit overstated, but this didn't detract from the message: that is. the deck has been stacked against the masses for a century. An article in "Atlantic" magazine recently discussed the subject of how the bankers came to the position of running the US government, but it didn't have the required depth for understanding. This book delivers, yet it makes one angry.
Shines a whole new light on war and the financial masters we fight it for.
This will let you understand money a lot about why the world is the way it is. He explanes how the banking system is stealing millions of homes and anything of vale.
My point is that I am relatively literate in economics, finance and business concepts but I did not have the higher level view of how the fed, congress, and finance interacted.While I don't subscribe completely to the conspiracy theories in the book, it has made me much more aware of the power of the Federal Reserve, their relationship to congress and the impact of this relationship on national and world events. This book changed my world view. This book has sparked a voraciously appetite for economic and market related materials and it has become a pillar in my ability to understand and filter the various news sources and pundits positions.Since reading other related materials I would say that the content in this book is not the whole story of what is going on but it is an indispensible piece of the picture. I received an MBA thirty years ago but have worked in higher educational administration for my entire career so I can't claim to be actively envolved in business. My wife is an investment advisor and has been for 25 years so we have economic related conversations on a daily basis. It is one of the most enlightening books I have ever read, and I've read quite a few books. I highly recommend it.
