“The portrayal of central banking in these sorts of articles is sterile and scientific. You wouldn’t know, for instance, that the men who created the plan for the Federal Reserve dressed up in costumes so they wouldn’t be found out when traveling down to Jekyll Island for the confab that led to the final proposal. And you certainly wouldn’t know of the relationships between them and others in Europe that were backing this sort of plan. The idea that the framers of the Federal Reserve Act would be shocked at the way it turned out is specious. It didn’t take but a decade and those empowered by the Act were conspiring with the British to devalue the dollar and prop up the pound.”
