The Creature from Jekyll Island

A Second Look at the Federal Reserve

An analytical critique examining the origins, structure, and consequences of the United States Federal Reserve System. The text investigates the secret 1910 meeting of prominent financiers and politicians at a resort island off the coast of Georgia that laid the groundwork for central banking legislation. It argues that the institution operates as a private cartel influencing national economic cycles, inflation, and public debt. The work provides a detailed alternative perspective on monetary history and banking policy.
