Ep. 27 - The Truth About the Federal Reserve - An Intro

I read and hear a lot about how bad the Federal Reserve is for America. The cries for “Audit the Fed” continue to grow louder. Inherently I understand that government intervention always causes market distortions but trying to explain how the Federal Reserve detrimentally impacts the economy at a level that the average person can understand has proved daunting. But I am going to give it a shot in this episode and the next one.

In this episode I am going to introduce you to the Federal Reserve – explain what it is, why and how it was created and explain how it creates money.

Episode #28 will be spent looking at the Fed's record over the 100+ years of its existence and argue why it should be abolished.

Show Notes:

• Creature from Jekyll Island, Edward Griffin
• The Myth of Fed Independence – Mises.org
• End the Fed, Ron Paul
• Numerous writings and podcast from the likes of Ron Paul, John Tamny, Tom Woods, Fee.org and Mises.org.
