  <default_description>During the 2008 presidential campaign, over 4,000 students gathered at the University of Michigan to hear Republican Party candidate Ron Paul speak. As he began to address the topics of monetary policy and the coming depression, a chant came from the crowd, &quot;End the Fed! End the Fed!&quot;  As dollar bills were lit on fire and thrown into the night skies, it became clearer than ever that the real problem, one that nobody in the media was talking about, was the central bank-an unconstitutional entity and a political, economic, and moral disaster.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; Most people think of the Federal Reserve as an institution that has always been there (it hasn't) and isn't going anywhere.  But in END THE FED, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Federal Reserve is both corrupt and unconstitutional.  It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless.  What most people don't realize is that the Fed -- created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia -- is actually working against their own personal interests.  Ron Paul's urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic policy for future generations.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; This is the truth.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Ron Paul.  He knows money.  And Capitalism.  If you do too, you'll like this book.  I like that he is a &quot;take action&quot; kind of guy.  Quick read, good info on the corrupt history of the Federal Reserve.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Easy to read and short description of what's wrong with US monetary policy and how to fix it. Everything in the book was already familiar to me, so I didn't learn a lot. As usual with Ron Paul's books, the bibliography is great.]]></body>
