This Website has used books: alibris.com They are kind of expensive, but there are a steady stream of "$15 off a $30 purchase" coupons available here: dealofday.com edealfinder.com Also, you probably know about this Ebay affiliate: half.com Interesting stuff in your link. Not knowing much about that, I would say that all of that could be true, without any sinister motives. The BIS could have been set up facilitate the Young Plan, which was set up to help Germany. The idea of helping Germany rebuild its industry so as to be able to pay back reparations seems sensible. I have heard about Prescott Bush's involvement in funding the Nazi's, but I don't recall any details. Tom Tom

Schacht was chairman of the Reichsbank until 1939. His position in the Dawes/Young plans was that Germany's reparations should not be fixed, but be flexible so as not to ruin the fragile foreign exchange balance. He was vindicated in the end, with the run on Germany in 1931. He was at the infamous 1927 meeting in which England convinced the U.S. to lower rates. He said: "Don't give me a low rate. Give me a true rate, and then I shall know how to keep my house in order." Smart guy and good central banker. Tom
