[edit] Content

The book is about how the Federal Reserve System was created after a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, Georgia in 1910. The author alleges that the "Money Trust", composed of the richest and most powerful bankers in the world, along with a U.S. Senator, wrote the proposal to launch the Federal Reserve System (which Griffin calls a banking cartel) to control the financial system so that the bankers will always control the issuance of currency in the U.S.A.

Also explored in the book is supposed evidence that the Federal Reserve System, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank are part of a plot to build world government through clever psychology and deceptive banking institutions.
