End the Fed [NOOK Book]

Interesting, Informative, and Convincing

For anyone who is interested in the expansion of government, bailouts, the Federal Reserve, economics, or our current recession in general, this book is for you.

Normally when I read books I end up highlighting or underlining a couple lines every 10 pages or so. This book has almost every single page underlined. This book is so important to understanding the boom and bust cycle of our economy and our current recession.

If you see this book and say, "This just looks a little to radical for me", believe me, after reading a couple pages you'll be chanting "End the Fed!" and questioning why this information is never brought up in the media or school textbooks.

This books reads very well, despite economics not always being the most exciting subject, and is very important and informative. This book is also easy to comprehend if you're newer to economics.

I'm not one of those people who would say, "Every American should read this book!" but truthfully if you want to be informed and knowledgeable about America's monetary policy and it's effects on our lives and economic cycles, read this book.

Who would have ever thought a book about economics and the Federal Reserve could be such a page turner!

Historically & Philosophically Fascinating

I was, obviously, expecting a good argument against the infection that is the Federal Reserve. What I didn't expect was how I got wrapped up into the historical aspect of the book.

Paul takes a very expansive view of American economic history and shares it in an enjoyable manner. I got caught up in reading Ron Paul's personal history portion in which he tells the story of his take on sound money as he understood it as a young boy, working for every real penny, and how this was one of the seeds of his great interest in economics and liberty.

I was challenged to stay on my toes during his transcripts of his exchanges with the Chief Banksters; Volker, Greenspan and Bernanke - listed successively in their increasing egregiousness, as evidenced by their foolish responses to Paul's very real and relevant questions to them.

If I had to summarize the book, I'd say it drives deep the idea that the Federal Reserve is levying a much more insidious tax on Americans than most realize. The Fed does this through the debasement of our currency, their policy of forced inflation and it's effects on savings and assets valuations, through the funding of Federal wars and crimes, and how the connected elites use the all-too-willing Fed to propel their wealth into the stratosphere at the severe expense and prosperity of real people.

I'd say, read it. Or listen. The audio version is very well done.

Although End the Fed is not the most thorough book from a research standpoint, it can give someone who knows nothing about the fraud that is the Federal Reserve a taste of the truth.

I am an Independent, and have been a Ron Paul for years. He tells Americans the [true] stuff that they don't want to hear, and that is why I respect him. He also addresses issues that most politicians won't discuss because they assume that their uninformed, 'drone' voters do not want to hear listen to it, or because they themselves are uninformed, or are slaves to someone else's political agendas. Anyway, back to the review. As far as the writing goes, End the Fed is, unlike some other quasi-scholarly books, very easy to understand. The research could have gone more in-depth, but I think that Congressman Paul probably wanted to keep his writing brief, so as to not lose his readers. It's an easy read; I think I read within a day. Overall, I would give the book 4 stars. As a side note, I have not read Ron Paul's other book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, but my Mom, a new Ron Paul "convert" says that it is worth reading.

Everyone in America, especially sheep, lemmings and ostriches should read this.

Ron Paul tells America what they should hear and what they should do to save our country from further financial decimation. If you still think everything's okay in Kansas, you need to read this book. He disrobes King Obama, Alan Greenspan and especially our current Fed Reserve chairman. These folks don't have your best interests at heart and Ron Paul is one of many folks proving it. He is not really a Republican at all. He is a modern patriot.

GREAT ECONOMIC IDEAS

This book is an outstanding economic expose of an approach to our financial system in this country not espoused by either the Republican or Democratic parties. It touches on a method to develop an entirely different and more sound basis for our capitalistic way of doing business. Very thought provoking and really makes one consider economic alternatives in this depressed time for our countries economy.

Highly Recommend! A must read

Highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding the relationship between economic liberty and personal freedom. This book presents a well-articulated case against the Fed. It also presents a well-thought-through explanation on how the ever-expanding money supply is the cause of the majority of our economic woes and transfers wealth from the common man to the elite minority.

Excellent read

Very well wrtten with facts to back it up. If you value liberty and freedom as well as the responsibilty that is required, then you will understand why we need to end the Fed. Ron Paul understands economics better that the so called experts that have confiscated the wealth of our country though inflation. I highly recommend this book to anyone opposed to tyrany and oppression. Many in media consider Ron Paul a "KOOK", but the truth is that he is one of few in a political position who uses sound reasoning to back up his positions. This book is NOT for someone who appreciates wealth confiscation and redistribution as the principals outlined within would completly undermine their efforts to control the actions and wealth of others. Knowledge is power and with this book, you will have an arsenal at your disposal to combat the misguided Keyensian economic terrorist that have dwindled the value of the dollar to less than 1/10th of its value prior to the Fed's creation. The Creature from Jeckyll Island has done nothing but concentrate the wealth within the hands of the elite who concocted this scheme a century ago.

A heartfelt treatise on eradicating the Federal Reserve

Everybody cares about money, but do you really understand it? How much do you know about the Federal Reserve, the American institution that plays a profound but secretive role in steering the U.S. economy? Congressman and erstwhile presidential candidate Ron Paul believes that the Federal Reserve, not money, is the root of all evil. In his somewhat repetitious - and sometimes fearful - book, Paul holds the Fed responsible for wars, recessions, depressions, bubbles, busts, scheming politicians, overextended consumers and creeping socialism, and that's just in the first chapter. Libertarian Paul wants to rid the U.S. of the arrogant cabal behind the central bank and return the American economy to a truly free market-based and gold-based system. Although his conclusions may strike some readers as far-fetched, his reasoning is based on years of self-taught economics and legislative experience. While the opinions expressed are those of the author alone, getAbstract would suggest this book to his supporters and to non-Libertarians who would like to understand an alternative point of view.

Great Book Explaining Why Our Economy & Politics Are The Way They Are.

As someone that has read other books by Dr. Paul I had a general idea I would like this book. This book was a great follow up to my read of Crash Proof 2.0 by Peter Schiff as it just reassured his points. I believe everyone of every political view should read this book. It does a great job explaining the moral, constitutional and the economical reasons the federal reserve system should be abolished and why inflation is a tool used to steal wealth from the middle class and poor. I highly recommend this book as well as a follow up read of Peter Schiff's Crash Proof 2.0

Where's the beef?

There are some interesting and informative portions of the book, but I felt like he should have had more background for some of his statements. He came off as an idealogue.

A Fast Read

In this book was a great chronological narrative of central banking and the correlating political initiatives. He makes the point the National Reserve System should be debated more frequently and more comprehensively. The book left me with the rhetorical question, "if central banking is indispensable and even unassailable politically, why?" I've yet to hear an explanation more convincing than his from his political detractors. Perhaps lazy convention precludes them from feeling the necessity of explanation. Perhaps they don't understand the question. I suppose it's much easier just to holler, "crazy man"!

Insightful read.

Eyeopening read on some of the workings of the Federal Reserve

Information we all need to understand what the Fed is all about.

This book will bring to light for the reader exactly what the Federal Reserve does and is doing to the U.S. It explains how they do it and why they are so dangerous to our freedom. I've read several books on the subject and this one is in the top two. The Fed is an unelected body of policy makers that do what is best for them without regard to the good of America and Dr. Paul is right to champion their demise. I hope he wins. This book is an easy read and a great introduction to the financial world that the Fed controls.

Top of my list for action

This is a subject that should burn in the heart of every American Patriot as a first step for making this country "Of" "For" and "By" the people once again, and this tome is a primer for just that action.

END THE FED is spot on

This should be the approach to "Change" and "Transformation" it reduces our deficit and reduces government. Instead we have an opposite approach to Change taking America into a new era of irrelevance and marginalize our foreign aid and charity throughout the world as well as criple our internal assistance programs. Ron Paul has the right approach for our current times and I recommend reading everything this man has written. He has the right ideas and can articulate the ideas so that we all understand.
