The Money Revolution is divided into three Parts.?
Part One, Money, describes the evolution of Money and Monetary Policy in the United States from the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in 1913 to the eve of the Crisis of 2008. It also discusses the events that forced the US monetary system to evolve.?These seven chapters provide a history of the Federal Reserve System and explain everything necessary to understand how the Fed conducts Monetary Policy in the 21st Century.?They also demonstrate the colossal power the US central bank has at its disposal.?
Part Two, Credit, shows that as the nature of money changed, it brought about a transformation of the economic system, as well.?It describes the astonishing proliferation of credit in the United States during the five decades since Dollars ceased to be backed by gold.?It discusses the impact that very rapid credit growth has had on the US economy and shows that economic growth is now dependent on credit growth.?It also demonstrates that there are effectively no longer any limits as to how much money the United States government can borrow.?Moreover, it shows that if credit fails to expand, the economy will collapse into a depression.?It concludes by describing the Fed’s successful policy response to the Crisis Of 2008 and its current efforts to support the economy through the Covid-19 Pandemic.?
