  <default-description>This book exposes important, often obscured truths about our  money system and our economic past and future.  Our money is not what we  have been led to believe. The creation of money has been privatized --  taken over by a private money cartel.  It is all done by sleight of hand,  concealed by economic double-speak.  &quot;Web of Debt&quot; unravels the  deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss  towards which we are heading, pointing out all the signposts.  Then it  explores a workable alternative, one that was tested in colonial America  and is grounded in the best of American economic thought, including the  writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.  If  you care about financial security, your own or the nation's, you should  read this book.</default-description>
