Why you should read End the Fed

Everybody cares about money, but do you really understand it? How much do you know about the Federal Reserve, the American institution that plays a profound but secretive role in steering the U.S. economy? Congressman and erstwhile presidential candidate Ron Paul believes that the Federal Reserve, not money, is the root of all evil. In his somewhat repetitious – and sometimes fearful – book, Paul holds the Fed responsible for wars, recessions, depressions, bubbles, busts, scheming politicians, overextended consumers and creeping socialism, and that’s just in the first chapter. Libertarian Paul wants to rid the U.S. of the arrogant cabal behind the central bank and return the American economy to a truly free market-based and gold-based system. Although his conclusions may strike some readers as far-fetched, his reasoning is based on years of self-taught economics and legislative experience. While the opinions expressed are those of the author alone, getAbstract would suggest this book to his supporters and to non-Libertarians who would like to understand an alternative point of view.
