A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind
by
The role of money-lenders in history was once aptly termed by many acute observers as the "Hidden Hand." It is the power to create, lend and accumulate interest on "credit," and then re-lend that interest for further interest, in perpetuity, that creates pervasive, worldwide debt, from the individual, to the family, to the entire state. The ability to operate a fraudulent

Stephen Mitford recently passed away and something about his eulogy inspired me to find this book. Rudyard Kipling's poem If was included in the eulogy at his funeral and it immediately triggered my curiosity. Also included was these words: " Goodson was a remarkable economist, reformer, researcher and author. Stephen provided a tremendous service for future freedom and prosperity by lifting the veil of secrecy of so many facts and facets of the history of central banking and the enslavement of

For a critical thinker this book has many references, quotes, and anecdotes hitting the heart of truth. For a person who has not yet learned the art of critical thinking (one is not born with this ability) this book may lead you into the despair of what I call "the Ramsey's Loop". The ideas derived from this informative book deserve the utmost scrutiny. Because of the nature of the perceived enemy one must draw from exasperated personal research to confirm, deny, or reinforce the claims in this

If you want to shock a man, make him read this book.
If you REALLY want to shock a man, make him read Kevin MacDonald's 'The Culture of Critique' first.
This book details the history of usury and how select individuals use it to create massive amounts of wealth and power for themselves while creating chaos for the host populations. A basic understanding of the banking system is necessary to fully grasp what Goodson lays down. Be warned though - after reading this you will want to see how deep the ...more

Fantastic. Changed my way I view the world and it has a lot of explanatory power for events and the current power paradigm. Covers the evils of usury and fractional reserve banking. Many wars have been begun just for the maintenance of the hegemony of central banking and usury. We are only to escape if we enact state/government banking and issue government notes debt-free and interest free simply as a medium of exchange. Then the government has no need to pay any bankers and they won't feel the

Omg. I stopped reading this. It started out fine but then took this bizzare turn to be extremely anti-semite and fascist. The guy actually applauded Hitler and Mousalini and blamed Jewish bankers in New York for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I can't believe it had all these great reviews on Amazon. This book is pure garbage.

My first delve into reading about Money.
Started off seeming pretty antisemetic, but as I google fact checked and cross referenced many of his claims, they all came up verified. I’ll take this book as one more opinion and add it to the puzzle. Decent read. Easy and quick.

Before I read this book I almost didn't think there were any new revelations for me to uncover. Little did I know I was about to open my eyes to a worldview-crashing overview of history from an economic perspective. It's depressing to think of how much time I wasted studying economic and philosophical theories meant to paralyze me and rationalizing their contradictions, when in reality the principles of power are so few, so simple, and utterly supplant the garbage we're taught about markets and

Throughout recorded history periods of state control of the money supply have been synonymous with eras of prosperity, peace, cultural enrichment, full employment and zero inflation. However, when private bankers usurp control of the money creation process, the inevitable results are recurring cycles of prosperity and poverty, unemployment, embedded inflation and an enormous and ever increasing transfer of wealth and political power to this tiny clique, who control this exploitative monetary sys

Disgustingly Anti-Semitic. Author has an axe to grind. And attributing the fall of Caesar to his currency reform ideas is reductive at best. Attributing the fall of Rome to the “degeneration of the race” due to import of black slaves is bare faced racism.
Interesting book. Covers a wide variety of subtopics related to the subject of banking.
Main criticism is that there are several unsubstantiated or flat out false statements made by the author. They are inconsequential to the main point, but I do find it to be inexcusable.
Example: the author claims Congressman Louis Thomas McFadden—a man who was very outspoken against the big banks in the 1920s—was assassinated. I could not find any source to substantiate that claim. He appears to have died of ...more

Always thought that there was truth to claim that all wars are bankers wars. Never was that indicated more then this book.
Though I have heard much and read some on the federal reserve, the story of international banking is much older and more expansive, and there are many smoking guns like the assassination of Spencer Perceval, the only English prime minister to be assassinated, or the targeting of any country with state banks, makes me conclude that the overarching narrative of this book, that ...more

This was a decent read, but there are issues.
1. Just a heads up, I am pretty sure the author has a serious axe to grind with the Jews. And I will concede, the catalog of crimes committed by the Jews listed in the book (mainly ultra-wealthy financiers) are dastardly. But the ascribe a collective guilt to a people is wrong, as not all Jews are even on the same radar screen as the Warburgs and the Rothschilds.

Mind blowing and disturbing! Stephen Mitford Goodson created a masterpiece on the origin of Central Banking and the usury system. This book is prohibited in some countries because it tells different stories than the ones taught in schools and universities. With over 100 references in its bibliography, including Niall’s Ferguson’s works on the Rothschild, its responsibility with the facts can’t be denied.
This book provides insights and shows how private banks work and abuse monetary systems. It also shows how private banks operated trough-out history to the modern days and brought misery to the world. It's an excellent and worth reading book.

A concise yet powerful review of the history of central banks (which lend money created ex nihilo at interest to people, businesses, and governments, leading to interest-bearimg debt = usury) and how said institutions were used as deceptive means of making a small number of people mindlessly rich at the expense of the masses. The book outlines in detail the many attempts governments, monarchists, autocrats, and good-willed citizens have made to date to resist and overthrow the money power, to te

When you hear that a book about banking has been banned it definitely raises an eyebrow. If you are interested in central banking do some searching about Nathan Rothschild don't read this book. There are some well-documented points (such as the Rothschild's funded the Napoleonic War) but a lot of it is hearsay and tinfoil hat-wearing ( e.g. using a WW2 revisionist book is not a credible source). As the more I read, I realised why it was banned - the author. The author is an anti-semitic, Holocau

I thought that this was a comprehensive and well-researched survey of the effects and origins of global central baking throughout history. The author, a South African banker, goes into great detail regarding the nitty-gritty economic details throughout the book. He does not simply spuriously state that certain countries have prospered under the absence of central banks and corrupt usury -- but instead exhibits this with (factual) statistical figures. He takes care also to note who exactly has be

Good book, but I stalled on it because every time I picked it up, I'd think to myself, "But Dena, you already know bankers are repulsive, godless, spiritually bankrupt pieces of petrified shit. There are other books waiting."
I'll probably come back to it later. Not a bad book at all! The section on Roman money was FUH ASS I NAY TINK.

Really interesting and enlightening book. Great to read for anyone interested in history and/or finance. Definitely changed my view of many things in the world. Should be required reading for every person in the school system.
I was hoping for a lot more detail, and was disappointed. There is not a great deal of evidence, and the pace is too fast.
The world's foremost problem.

Read this over the course of a year. Easy to read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Sourcing YouTube is interesting, a sign of the sources. Some information is probably wrong but a good book to read.
Some very interesting stuff. The problem with central banking is very clearly described through multiple sources, multiple accounts, and historical bliss whenever it was replaced with state-controlled banks. The problem is the constant blips. An assassin was seen at a synagogue (unsourced), therefore it's safe to assume that he was controlled and sent by the Rothschilds. Gavrilo Princip was jewish (unsourced)! Pre-revolutionary Russia was great! Look at all these export numbers! Nazi Germany was

This book is strangely anti-semitic. No wonder I found it on iFunny, I should've known better. It reads like a secret history of the mechanics of our problems until the author starts blaming everything on the Jews. Honestly, the author doesn't even bother to be subtle [a horrible act was committed or a greedy policy written by X, Y, and Z. Also they were known to be Jews] like really?!?! It's just a bad faith cherry picking with sloppy citations. 2/10 would not recommend. It's too bad too, I tho

Caution to read with a critical mindset. Some (more than a few) wrong facts, some absurd statements, some good stuff and a real issue and topic at hand. Would still not recommend this book as it is greatly exaggerateing in some of it's core statements and somewhat builds on a grand conspiracy. The author is (ofcourse) also a holocaust denier.

I found it to be a bit too ideological. I was looking for something more objective. Obviously, given the contentious subject matter, some bias will be expected either way. But there is an extreme amount of speculation and unsubstantiated claims from the author. I stopped reading about a third of the way through.
Very relevant to 2020, if you want to know who are our masters and their shitshow (the real history, false narrative, divide and rule...) admin-puppets runners this is a good book, kind of 101 on real history and starting part of unbrainwashing/deprogramming from the lies we've been spoon fed through main stream channels (education, TV, politics...).

Some interesting ideas, but it goes too much into anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Also, the prose is pretty bad.
3.5 stars.
Some very good insightful historical information. Some speculation and scuttlebutt. Read it and make up your own mind.
