Reviews
On Oct 14 2010, ElectricEel said:
In effect, this is a history of central banking in the United States in the Twentieth Century. Could there possibly be a hotter topic today? Among the more interesting points is Galbraith's characterization of the Federal Reserve System as a stupid idea which is almost always implemented by stupid people.
