A well researched thought-provoking book. - Goodreads Extremely well documented, researched and fact checked. - Goodreads They make for easy reference. - Goodreads User Review - Flag as inappropriate I read this book about 15 years ago. I have no background in banking or business classes, but this book (if you are not intimidated by it's size) was easy to read, written for the laymen (or a regular housewife as I was at the time) and took me step by step to an indepth understanding of the federal banking system and how it works (and how it's not Federal at all). I'm educated, have a BS in comp sci and engineering, however, banking has always been a mystery. Not anymore. Review: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal ReserveUser Review - Michael Burns - GoodreadsPlease be warned that once you read this book you will never think the same again about the US financial system. Great insight as to what actually goes on with power and money in this world and most particularly the US Department of Treasury and FDIC Read full review Related books
