  <description><![CDATA[EXPLODING THE MYTHS ABOUT MONEY    Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been &quot;privatized,&quot; or taken over by a private money cartel.  Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions -- including the private Federal Reserve.  Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans.  To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices -- and robbing you of the value of your money.  Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading. 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.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[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.

    <![CDATA[EXPLODING THE MYTHS ABOUT MONEY    Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been &quot;privatized,&quot; or taken over by a private money cartel.  Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions -- including the private Federal Reserve.  Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans.  To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices -- and robbing you of the value of your money.  Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading. 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.]]>

    <![CDATA[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.]]>
