Get the shocking truth — read Web of Debt!,
If you’re looking for some engrossing reading, you’ve just found it. Ellen Hodgson Brown’s Web of Debt kept me turning the pages and eager for the next chapter. It is a panoramic overview of the history of money and banking, but it reads like a spellbinding novel. The plot is the struggle between money as an accounting system at the service of commerce, versus money as a means of private control, of extracting tribute from governments and economies. I came away from it with a new understanding of how banking really works (banks actually create new money when they make loans!). I learned that there is a proven alternative to having money serve private masters — the way of Benjamin Franklin’s colonial Pennsylvania that put money to work for the public good and created prosperity and abundance for all — and that this may be the way out of our country’s present financial quagmire.
