The World of Debt
Web of Debt by Ellen Brown [4] The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free.
Description: Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been "privatized," or taken over by private money lenders. Thomas Jefferson called them “bold and bankrupt adventurers just pretending to have money.” Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions — including the privately-owned 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.
A big fan of Ellen Brown who has written some one of the best books on the subject. - Gary Kinghorn
