The Creature from Jekyll Island Yep I have a copy and read it several times -g- I have even sent it around to some some guys who might be critical of Griffins viewpoint. Some of the "historical facts" are open to ridicule from any real historical source. Example... Page 274. One report said, for example, that British agents were seen handing out 25-rouble notes to the men at the Pavlovski regiment. The criticism is. "What? An agent flagrantly distributed money to men on parade in public (why?!) and people were taking notes and photographs"?? I admit this is about as convincing as the rumor during WW1.. "The Russians are coming and they have snow on their boots". (to fight in on the Western Front where we were losing badly). Pure fabrication. Here is a link to some complaints about historical accuracy on the Bank of England. (page 175) Bank of England. floodlight.org Not sure if I follow the argument. It doesn't convince me that fiat money printing bankers aren't just a bunch on crooks though-g- When you stir up a rats nest like the Fabians (Britains intellectual elite socialists) you gotta have your facts real straight. Once they pick up one mistake they become full of suspicion. -lol- One other item. Griffin does not mention "unemployment" anywhere. (have a look in the index...it's true) Mass unemployment and money are connected. Overall, Keynes is not quite the bad guy that many say he is/was. Keynes was a good guy, the last bulkwark from Britain being taken over by the commies. That was why he became so influential. Fact is I loved Griffins book, as it explains so many things in an entertaining way. Like what fiat money is, fractional banking systems and many definitions. There is a huge amount of evidence that says Griffin is right about the IMF, CB's, UN (in it's present form) and fiat money. I am solidly for a non fiat money supply. Overall most educational book for the financial novice like me, and can easily lead on to a real educational background in finance and financial history I expect.
