Money is the lifeblood of the global economy, directly affecting nearly every person, enterprise, and government on the planet. Controlling the supply of that money is a prize so alluring, so corrupting, that for centuries powerful entities have maneuvered, schemed, and fought viciously to obtain it. Eventually, Financial Power won this Money War and now reigns supreme. How this took place, and what it means for every individual living in our world today, is a story that begins in antiquity and ends with the struggle to make ends meet for billions of people. That ongoing encroachment on individual freedom, a sinister power-grab creeping silently into everyone's wallet and purse, one that was largely out-of-sight, intentionally obscured, and buried today under academic blessing and media approval, is the story told in this book. Crucially, however, there is a way out of the morass, a financial roadmap that restores liberty and justice for all.
