Book Description
In his astonishing new book, "Thieves in the Temple: America under the Federal Reserve System," Andre Eggelletion reveals facts about how the American economy operates that every American deserves to know. He establishes a historical perspective, by discussing the definitions and functions of money, and how the idea of a central banking system evolved through American history. The Federal Reserve System is the fourth in a series of banks that have failed and been discontinued. Eggelletion describes the relationship between our system of banking, wars from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism, and our current political system, including the hotly debated 2004 Presidential election.But above all, Eggelletion describes how the average American taxpayer struggles financially, because the important decisions about the economy are made not by elected officials, but by a group of businessmen out for profit. "Thieves in the Temple" is a must read for every thinking American.
