It will open your mind to what real history has happened in the U.S.No one, who thinks he knows American history and the economy, truly knows it without reading this very important book. Each and every incredible assertion and fact is footnoted with the source of the fact. The Factual support for the incredible statements made in this book, made this book one of the most memorable I have ever read. What made the experience of listening to The Creature from Jekyll Island the most enjoyable? I've learned more about banking and the economy from this book than I did from my college economics and finance classes. I'm so glad I found it on Audible and that it has been updated with information about the world's current economic situation. This book has been on a shelf in my home for over 10 years and during that time I manged to read maybe the first 3 chapters. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Mark's narration brought the concepts and information presented into clear focus. What does Mark Bramhall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? The explanation of how banking and the economy actually work. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Creature from Jekyll Island? If you could sum up The Creature from Jekyll Island in three words, what would they be? I just wish I wouldn’t have wasted an Audible credit on this. I’ll search for another book on the topic.

What I couldn’t handle was the description of the banking system. That’s fine - everyone has their own opinion. The author even alludes to his negative feelings about the Federal Reserve in the first few sentences. However, the book has a lot of good reviews and is extremely popular. I could tell by the title how the author felt about The Fed. I wanted to listen to a book about the Federal Reserve given the current economic situation. Many other updates have been added, including a revision to the list of those who attended the historic meeting at Jekyll Island, where the Federal Reserve was created. The 5th Edition includes a no-holds barred analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations that are shown to be nothing less than legalized plunder of the American people. Putting it quite simply, this may be the most important book on world affairs you will ever read. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. ![]() This book is about the most blatant scam of history.
