As the financial crisis worsens in America and across the globe, people want to know: “When did it all start”? In fact, the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank in the United States (which is neither Federal nor does it hold any kind of reserve) is a spin-off of the Bank of England, established in the 1694.

And, as the earl of Anglesey presciently observed in 1658: “It is dangerous to the peace of the kingdom when it shall be in the power of half a dozen or half a score of rich, discontented or factious persons to make [an accumulation] of our own coin and bullion beyond the seas and leave us in want of money when it shall not be in the king’s power to prevent it."

If anyone reading this has a copy of Goodson's book "A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind" then please leave a comment. Thank you in advance
