Summary
The author draws on American history, economics and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Federal Reserve is both corrupt and unconstitutional, inflating currency and threatening to put us into an inflationary depression. He also tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic policy for future generations.
