The Great Betrayal

While many of us felt the effects of the 2008 recession it is also true that many of us couldn't identify why we were hit with a recession in the first place. What role did the Federal Reserve and interest rates play? How did credit expansion and relaxed lending standards facilitate the problem? The discipline of monetary policy has been neglected by our educational system and more than just one generation is without a basic knowledge of how money gets into the system.. The Great Betrayal presents a history of monetary policy in the United States and it provides an account of how our monetary policy has evolved over the years. It also speaks to the ways in which our founding values and the Constitution are under threat from enemies of the free market proposing a way forward for citizens and businesspersons interested in being successful. But even more it prepares a new generation to face the threats of progressivism and ignorance with history education and economic literacy.
