Who rules the world & how money really works

Plate VI · Understanding the Monetary System
The argument
Did you know that the Federal Reserve Bank is not owned or run by the US government? It's a privately owned bank, just like the Bank of England. Money is not just about buying ice-cream and burgers — it can make or break entire nations, fund wars, motivate people to do good, and corrupt them to do harm. If you don't understand the history of money power, nothing about the world will make sense. You will wonder why you never learned this before.

How does money creation shape wars, elections, and the price of a house?
Is gold a relic, or a memory the system would prefer you forgot?
What would a sound monetary system look like, and why has it been refused?
