The History of Money: The Creation Of The Federal Reserve Bank
By: John Indelicato
History, as we are taught it, is written by the victors. Yet, everything in our modern world ultimately revolves around money. Therefore, the dominant history-the one that truly explains our present-is the history of money itself. The first 150 years of American history tell this story best: a relentless, violent struggle for control over the American dollar. This financial conflict is an epic tale of panics, wars, and assassinations.
The modern phase of this history begins with the Federal Reserve. This financial parable was set in motion not by a caucus of bankers, but by a natural disaster: the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. The quake was so powerful that it became the first natural event to genuinely disrupt the London financial markets. This saga, which marked the culmination of a century of financial warfare, ended with the passing of an American titan and the final, decisive creation of the Federal Reserve.
